SIRENES
A
lifelong fascination with colour has been an unimitable source of inspiration for lyrical abstract painter Sirenes, whose canvases offer a moment of calm and reflection for the viewer.
Sirenes’ practice in meditation and yoga has informed the expressive, emotional element of her work which houses a refreshingly uplifting quality. Influenced often by simple pleasures of life such as flowers, love, hope and happiness, Sirenes often incorporates finger-painting into parts of her works, and at times even full canvases are painted this way.
You are Enough, 2014, acrylic on canvas, 80 x 100 cm
This technique adds a tactile appearance to the paintings, and reflects Sirene’s desire to express her inner feelings directly into her work. Having shown work internationally in exhibitions as far as China, Brazil and the USA, Sirenes has gained a world-wide following and client base. Last year her artwork You Are Enough was viewed by millions when it was showcased as a billboard on the London Underground. sirenes.no post@sirenes.no
