Artwork Description

Faint Echoes contemplates the quiet passage of time and the selves we inevitably leave behind. The projected image beyond the figure recalls moments that once felt permanent relationships, places and identities that have since receded into memory.

Rather than dwelling in nostalgia, the work considers the quiet acceptance that change is inevitable. Each stage of life asks us to relinquish a former self while making space for one not yet fully realised. In this way, the painting reflects both loss and possibility, acknowledging that we are continually becoming, carrying the imprint of every version of ourselves that came before.

Artist Bio

Marieka Hambledon is an Adelaide based portrait artist whose work explores the human condition. Hambledon grew up in an artistic household and started painting from a young age. She began her university studies in film, before transferring into a fine art degree and then eventually studied graphic design that lead to a successful 10-year career.

With her parents involved in both theatre and counselling, Hambledon was drawn to painting different characters and exploring what it means to be human. Hambledon’s art practice is primarily in acrylics to achieve her distinct dotting style. Her technique is inspired by the pointillists, utilising colourful dots and optical blending to achieve a photo realistic appearance.

Hambledon’s work is in many private collections in Adelaide and Victoria, and a commissioned work was offered as the prize for the Howard Twelftree Award in 2016. In 2019 Hambledon was a finalist in the Kennedy Award, and a semi-finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize. Most recently, Hambledon was a finalist in the 2020 Bluethumb Art Prize and the SBS Portrait Prize.
