Angela Galvan

My paintings take a philosophical view of humanity and feelings, favouring
realism and tradition in my aesthetic. My oeuvre is located in bleak empty
landscapes and sentimental portraits. The portraits look at the expression of
the flesh, captured in detailed dark oil paintings, where only a part of the body
is visible, but evokes a sense of sorrow, frustration, nostalgia, or the subject’s
own emptiness.
I am inspired by Romanticism and Mannerism, by the work of Francis Bacon
and the kitsch aesthetic of Odd Nerdrum
