Inspired by the poem “The Bluebell" by Anne Brontë, this mixed media abstract tries to capture the fleeting beauty and mortality of a bluebell. Composed of oil, soft pastels and pencils on sheer fabric, the artwork is carefully hand-stretched on wooden bars, reflecting with its delicate hues the life span of a bluebell, as the passage of time in human life. Bluebells are perennials, waiting with their bulb underground in ancient woodland all winter, to emerge and bloom again in spring, soak all the sunlight to store the energy in their bulb over winter, where they will be waiting patiently to bloom again.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
