Beneath the Surface - print of acrylic painting by Holly Mitchell

ARTIST STATEMENT: I focused on the vibrant colours and the interesting environment within a pool. Following a photoshoot, I used acrylic paint to capture the bright colours from the image. The bubble helps to link the human with the underwater environment underlining how we must help it due to our damage on it. This painting also focuses on natural forms and shows how vibrant colours attract and intrigue us. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2022 Sovereign Art Foudation Students Prize in Guernsey. Holly created this piece aged 15 while a student at The Ladies' College.
