HELLO, I AM ARTIST
MARY ROSE
Creative Process
My creative process begins with an idea or memory that stirs my imagination. I start with detailed sketches, laying down fine lines that capture the essence of my subject with precision. Watercolors & Ink then add depth and emotion, their fluidity allowing for a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This combination of pen and watercolor enables me to create pieces that are both intricate and vividly expressive, blending the dreamlike qualities of surrealism with the clear lines of modern illustration.
Purpose and Vision
Through my art, I seek to connect with viewers on a deep emotional level, inviting them to reflect on their own experiences and memories. By blending the innocence of childhood stories with existential themes, I create a space where the whimsical and the profound coexist. My work aims to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection, encouraging viewers to explore the complexities of life through a surreal and illustrative lens.
I am an artist whose work is deeply rooted in surrealism and modern illustrative styles. My creations, rendered in pen and watercolors, delve into the profound themes of life, death, and childhood fairytales. These narratives are woven together with inspiration drawn from nature, folk art, and the rich diversity of fauna.
Inspiration and Themes
My art explores the deeper meanings of existence, threading together the surreal and the real. Nature, with its endless cycles and intricate beauty, is a constant muse. I am fascinated by the storytelling found in folk art, which often imbues everyday scenes with a sense of wonder and timelessness. The intricate details of fauna—each creature a microcosm of the natural world—also play a significant role in my visual vocabulary.
