Artist Statement

“This artwork called

‘Blood Red’

symbolizes a young woman

who has lots of natural confidence

and life energy.

The colour red represents

fire, blood, heat and power.

It is also the colour of

romance, passion, youth,

beauty and emotion

- the colour of soul and heart.

 I began painting this artwork

because I was inspired by

using bright colours

as tone to create a face.

 I love art

(mainly sketching and painting)

because there is so much

chance and variety

in whatever you can make”.
