Amanda is an artist based in the UK, holding a BA (Hons) in Art and Design. Her work embodies contemporary art with a modern style that seamlessly merges emotional depth with imaginative storytelling, creating a unique visual experience that resonates deeply with her audience. Through her multifaceted approach to art, Amanda invites viewers into a richly coloured world where creativity and expression thrive.
As a skilled painter and drawer, Amanda utilizes a diverse range of mediums to explore her primary themes: the complexities of political climates, the nuances of language, and the impact of various eras on people and society. Her paintings, often characterized by her use of colour and intricate compositions, serve as a reflection of the turbulent socio-political landscape, prompting viewers to engage critically with contemporary issues. Each piece is an invitation to contemplate not only the subject matter but also the emotions and stories that lie beneath the surface.
In addition to her two-dimensional works, Amanda ventures into some 3D ceramics. These sculptural forms allow her to experiment with texture and shape, further enhancing her narrative-driven approach.
In the contemporary art scene, Amanda learns complex subjects through her art, she encourages dialogue and introspection, making her work not just visually stunning, but socially significant as well.
