Samantha Ellis
Samantha's vibrant and eclectic cityscapes are characterized by intricate patterns, bright colours, and a palpable sense of energy and movement. Primarily drawing from a blend of photographic references and her own vivid imagination, she occasionally depicts real locations, while at other times, she creatively combines various scenes and experiments with composition. She describes this artistic process as “letting loose and having fun.” Youthful and full of inspiration, Samantha has developed a distinctive approach that has evolved into a fluid, dynamic, and recognizable style.
The use of acrylics imparts the vibrancy essential to her more audacious works. At times, she opts for a cooler colour palette to evoke a more detached atmosphere in her finished pieces. “I tend to apply the paint quite thickly, as I appreciate the texture it creates, which also enhances the visual interest of the painting. I enjoy the challenge of making each building and location appear unique with every painting I create.”
