MARIA ONYEGBULE - 'COMFORTS OF HERITAGE'
Painting
My paintings take influences from my travels to North, East and West Africa.
The processes explore different ways of working and incorporating techniques observed, photographed and documented during my travels.
we are I believe the vessels of all that has been and the possibility of all that will be. My focus being the simple everyday life, culture, of the people and their surroundings.
A simple market scene becomes a fusion of vibrant colour that breaths life and pattern. A young man in prayer creates stillness, harmonic balance and reflection; the mask becomes a spiritual vessel/form, a fusion of elements transcending time and place.
