"Never-Ending Shower" Drawing

Georgina Zafeiri is a contemporary artist based in Beccles. She has a Master of Arts in Drawing and is a qualified International Mountain Leader. She was born in Bury St Edmunds and has also recently lived in Switzerland. Georgina’s latest artworks explore how she is intrinsically bound to the landscape both as an artist and mountain leader. “I love adventure and to explore, watch the changing colour of the sunset every day, walk in the wind at the beach. I enjoy the sense of freedom that the outdoors gives me. I like a challenge in the mountains and to take the route that I know will be hard. I think deeply about the ancient paths that I am taking across the landscape and who might have taken them before me. I am interested also in environmental issues, in particular our water usage and the construction of new buildings in areas of natural beauty. Recently I have taken inspiration from the landscape paintings of Alexander Perrier, Ferdinand Holder, Edvard Munch and Louis Amalvy. I like bright, dreamy colours even though they may not always be realistic and are quite abstract. Instead I’m trying to give you an essence of what I feel when I’m in nature. I am a versatile artist and like to try out new media, whilst drawing is my specialism I am very happy to use paints, collage, textiles and any other medium that is appropriate to express my emotions.
