Artwork Description

Silence holds a curious power, an unseen force shaping the essence of existence. In its embrace, faces emerge, each one a canvas of intricate lines and subtle curves. These faces, like maps of uncharted territories, reveal stories through the quiet language of form and shape.

In the stillness, a face becomes a landscape, where every line is a path and every contour a journey. The eyes, deep wells of emotion, hold the silent whispers of untold tales. Lips, gently curved or tightly pressed, speak in the hush of what remains unspoken.

Shapes form in the interplay of light and shadow, where the artist's hand, guided by an inner muse, captures the ineffable. A cheekbone, a jawline, the delicate arc of a brow—each detail emerges from the void, a testament to the profound eloquence of silence.

In this realm, form transcends mere appearance, becoming a vessel for the intangible. The essence of a face is more than its features; it is the silent echo of a soul's presence, a glimpse into the depths of being. Silence and shapes, faces and forms, intertwine in an eternal dance, creating a symphony of stillness that speaks volumes.

Artist Bio

Coming from a family of artists of all shapes and sizes, I have had the burning desire to be creating since I can remember.

I'm one of the very few people who was born, raised and still resides on the Gold Coast in Queensland,
I am an artist. I'm an intuitive. I write, I paint, I draw, I take photos, I love music.

My father was a musician, mum was a sign writer, my great grandfathers George Wallace Snr and George Wallace Jnr were very well known Australian comedians back in their time and both very talented artists and cartoonists. You could say its just in my blood.

I was the kid who didn't really see school as much of anything but a social activity and used my diary mainly for doodling and sketching and testing out my newest watercolours or posca pens.
Art was my favourite subject. After school, I became a Graphic Designer and worked in that industry all the way up until today at the ripe age of 45 (still doing it freelance).

Only in the last few years have I decided that all this passion for creating has to start translating onto the canvas again.

As a mum now, I watch my little boy and see how his imagination takes him to magical places (which we seem to lose as we grow up)... and I want him to see his mummy doing something that she truly loves. I have learnt from him that creating things for pure enjoyment and happiness is what life is all about.

So here we are... back to the roots of what I love.
All of my artworks have a little written harmony of words on the back of the canvas too.
I love a little lyric or poem to deepen the story of my pieces.

Oh... and I also have a few guardian angels egging me on... I pay great attention to my spirit guides and this is definitely what I should be doing!
I hope you like what you see.

Big love... Keyna xxo
