STATEMENT

“Feelings and emotions are passionate, uncharted and disorganised. In my practice, I attempt to capture that natural chaos with a minimal and polished finish. I come to the canvas with free flow, building each layer upon the last and informing the next. I find beauty in the rough marks and textures that pencils, paint and brush naturally create in this process and leave them uncovered. I like it when a work has given dignity to a specific fragment of my life. It may take several days or weeks but it is when I find clarity and inner resolution through the piece, that I know it is complete.” — Raniya Mansoor
