Portrait of Gillian Snape

Biography

My paintings evolve from a feeling of the atmosphere and emotion of what I observe.

My love and empathy with colours helps me to unite not always the obvious, but wanting to make them flow naturally, creating a juxtaposition between the natural and the empathic story – telling and symbolisim appear as a natural and instinctive drive for me to create sometimes the unusual and unexpected.

My poetry sometimes reveals pictures and stories, which I translate into colour and form. I love the magical, mystical and legendary. I paint he

images in my mind and also the areas around where I live – using light, colour and patterns contained in them.

A canvas is a world within a world, I paint the world within me.
