Description

“Semper Invicta” -19.04.2021

Semper Invicta is the latin phrase meaning always invincible. This came to mind while I was creating these faces and putting them in these abstract figural positions. The cracks , greyness and rough texture on their faces represent scarring/wear and tear. The plant-like stitching underneath represents growth. These details emphasise that although they are broken and cracked they are still surviving and growing with time. This is how I like to think of myself in tough times. These figures represent beings that have been through a lot but regardless they are still standing tall. The background is covered in painted and textured fabric including stitched 3-D elements. The colourful background represents hopefulness .

  • I am a multi-faceted artist. I have been making various forms of art all my life. My days are spent putting work, passion and love into the things I do. I'm very experimental with a lot of my art. I like to improvise as I'm going along and let my subconscious mind express itself through different methods and materials. My art is the most important thing to me because it is my therapy. In times of distress and sadness I bury myself in creativity and work. I'm autistic as well as regularly suffering with anxiety and depression. Life is an uphill battle and since childhood I've always found that creating is my only true solace.

    My most recent projects have been focused around mixed media textile art. In addition to this I also sculpt clay faces and either alter or hand-make dolls and anthropomorphic sculptures. Some of my accomplishments as an artist are; illustrating 15 children's books for author Chrisi E. Da Pavlova, selling artworks and handcrafted items on Etsy and Ebay for over 8 years, having my art featured in American author Tantra Bensko's book 'Word Swell', earning a First and National Diploma in Art and completing a year studying Illustration, BA Hons at Lincoln University.
