Story behind the Artwork:

In the 'Artist prefers colour' a figure (a self portrait of the artist) sits proudly on an armchair. Overlayed on the seated subject emerges an abstract figure composed of assertive dynamic shapes in vivid colours that together echo the seated subjects pose, almost suggesting that it might represent a spiritual self or an alter ego in an alternate dimension.

'The Artist prefers colour’ is about the wish for each of us to relish in the colourful and dynamic possibilities of ourselves.

The image was professionally scanned to capture the nuances of texture and colour of the original oil painting.

Cynthia Howard is a contemporary artist working mostly in oil paints. Her concepts come from stream-of-consciousness and either manifest as the free-flowing lines in her colourful abstract figures, or as the surrealist undertones in her realistically painted compositions. Sometimes she combines realism with her abstract figures in one concept. Cynthia Howard’s work surrounds an interest in life philosophy, meaningful relationships and self actualisation. The portraits and subjects she portrays are treated with reverence, focussing on their self-ownership, strength and wholeness. Her paintings deal predominately with the richness of our internal psychological and emotional world and musings about how we radiate energy and intention in our outer world.
