Divergence Painting

Krishna Machado is a landscape and figurative artist. Her large textural forest scenes have a compelling psychological element, and strive to capture her preoccupation with the unknown and the intricate balance between light and darkness of the human experience. Throughout history, transcending geographical and cultural divides, ancient forests have been known as places of deep spirituality, beauty, mysticism, and danger, and whilst many of us live in an increasingly developed and digitalised world, most can still feel the power, wildness and ethereal quality of nature’s sacred places. The forests in Krishna’s paintings illuminate the magic, movement and circular nature of life and explore the importance of our connection to the environment, in relation to our own internal microcosm.
