Australian artist Catherine Campbell paints fragile girls with blush on their cheeks. Each of them personifies a small fairy tale that happened at one point or another in the artist's life, and together, according to Catherine, they resemble her diary, where instead of notes there are drawings.
The artist describes her work as drawings that she creates using fine ink lines, colored paper and watercolors. In the center of most of her images is a female figure, which symbolizes the idea of the feminine principle. Recently, the artist has paid special attention to two separate themes in the depiction of the environment of her heroines, painting them against the background of the sea or at home. According to Catherine, the two themes represent different levels of stability or instability. And if you do not delve into philosophy, then the artist just likes the visual picture that turns out as a result.
Catherine is fond of tattoos, and although she herself only has one tattoo, the artist's heroines have a lot of them. But they do not mean anything special: as Katherine claims, they are designed to create and emphasize the marine atmosphere in her paintings.
The artist is always open for cooperation and often performs work on order. For example, she designed wrapping paper for Frankie magazine.
Catherine loves to read. She spends a lot of time in the State Library of Melbourne, looking at reproductions of paintings, and she also likes to drink coffee in the narrow streets of the city and watch passers-by. The girl is in love with her city. She claims that Melbourne has a huge number of talented people, communication with whom inspires her to create new works.
Catherine Campbell is from Melbourne. She graduated from the College of Fine Arts in New South Wales, Australia in 2001. You can get to know more about the artist's work on her website or blog.
