Inspired – Katie Jean Gilmour

Posted on September 20, 2021 by marikokoda under abstract, Art, collage, nature, Photography

I am super impressed by the magnetic power of the collages by the American artist Katie Jean Gilmour. I found her on Instagram through her official account, but she also opened one just for her paper experiments.

It looks like these are just a way for her to “maintain focus”, with the purpose to switch them in the future into paintings. I really enjoy the freshness of these works, especially because they suggest me a dark secret of some sort.

I hope to see more of her collage works, they are so inspiring!

Lara Meintjes – Floral Interiors

Posted on March 22, 2018 by marikokoda under abstract, Art, flowers, Illustration, nature, paintings, saatchi art

Colours explosion!

The South African artist Lara Meintjes paintings “wink” back to Matisse artworks, especially the still life ones.

But Lara adds a personal touch to each piece, creating bright interior design compositions and still life flower arrangements full of life. I can see a perfect rainbow unicorn universe in them!

You can also see her works on Saatchi Art, and follow her on Instagram.
