Claire Zylstra-Harding

Artist bio

I am an artist living in Melbourne, Australia. Art has always played a part in my life, for over a decade I have been fortunate to working at a prestigious gallery of which I am constantly exposed to
My painting process expresses my passions, my thoughts and my curious wonderings about the world and how I feel in it and how it reflects on me. The imagery of my paintings walks a line between the real world and a world shaped by our emotional perception.
Art portrays so many messages. What I want to convey can range from sadness, joy, inner turmoil or finding something more. Basically, my life and all it facets is what I put in. When I put down colours of warmth, I want an onlooker to feel that emulated from that painting, the same goes for dark colours of turmoil, vivacious colours of passion, and calming colours of peace.
I want the viewer to be taken in, to navigate their own emotional and psychological terrain finding power and strength within themselves.
