Denisa Mansfield

My artwork is an exploration of nature, design and emotions using mainly oil paints. Taking an approach to challenge the frame of thought and emotions one can feel, inviting the viewer to narrate their own observations. My work delves into my own interpretation of forms and characteristics of vintage and antique influences, where I focus on the relationship between my research into historic elements and further advancing my projects to a modern movement whilst maintaining that old world charm. Such subjects include fragments from historic interior design, textiles and furniture, reinventing this ideology of impressionism with elements of abstract art. My work reproduces familiar visual signs of vibrant and dark colours, passionate textured and elegant brush strokes and a mixture of blending techniques, showing a freely varied approach in each piece as not to limit myself creatively. I have found the subtle use of surrealism and minimalism to be valuable in arranging my visual ideas, subliminally present in every one of my paintings. I’m fascinated with the ancient world of mythology, symbolism and mystery, in which my work is grounded in the values of remembering the past with a new outlook on contemporary art.
