Venus artist statement
I go by the name Venus rå)A room without artwork is like an empty house. My practice involves acrylic painting, people,animals, objects and abstract things. I can paint almost anything with acrylic on canvas,starting from stylised to realistic. I also work with charcoal, oil pastels and pencils, fromsketching and drawing to detailed realistic pieces. Alongside this I produce digital work on atablet and this has a wide range of different practices involved. This is similar to what Iproduce analogue but when working digitally I have a wider range of tool’s available so I canproduce work faster and more efficiently. However in a world of A.I produced digital art, Ivalue my traditional practice over digital work. I am proficient in a range of adobe softwareincluding; photoshop, illustrator, indesign and animate, alongside Procreate on iPads.I also have an interest in fashion and clothing design, I can sew, put together patterns andcreate unique embroidered pieces.My personal practice is published under the name Venus. This tends to be a little bit darkerin tone, often born from the emotions and experiences with my mental health difficulties. Ilike to separate the two practices as they are very different things. This dark expressive sideof my work is not suitable for a younger audience and has limited commercial use. Howeverit’s something that has exhibition possibilities and potential use in mental health campaigns.Some of my professional practice does contain a strong political message, and I ampassionate about using my art to bring about change, however in some professional practiceit’s better to keep these sensitive subjects separate. I am very adaptable and present mywork based upon individual needs of clients or studios. : About
