Artist Statement
Deeply fascinated by landscape, organic forms, and textures, Brigita creates paintings that evoke a feeling of place rather than replicate a scene. Her process is spontaneous and visceral, marked by gestural calligraphic marks, layered textures, and distinctive colour harmonies. Inspired by her love of snorkelling and the underwater world, she often conjures fluid, unexpected seascapes where organic textures emerge like hand-woven tapestries, a signature element of her visual language.
