Forever Print

I am an architect and a contemporary fine artist living and working in Hampshire. Born in Nairobi, I graduated as an architect from Nottingham University, worked extensively both in Kenya and in England before establishing my own architectural practice, ‘Rita Sennik Architects’ at the turn of the century. In 2011, I enrolled at Southampton University to pursue my lifelong passion for painting. A recent Fine Art graduate from the Winchester School of Art, I am developing my practice as a painter and a sculptor. My practice explores the emotional dynamics of being a woman, engaging the female form and face to deconstruct established precepts of the nude and portraiture. Using the frame of the gallery, the history of painting, celebrating Modernism, my work realigns itself through process and the materiality of the medium within the context of post-modernism.
