Mermaid Painting

lives in UK : Peggy Cozzi primarily experiments with colour and is fascinated by how it can transport us to such a variety of moods , memories and associations within the psyche . She makes abstract paintings , predominantly oil on canvas , with a focus on the interplay between gesture and colour , using loose , open , expressive mark making mediated through an experimental yet balanced and harmonising colour palette . “I am interested in how the medium of paint can evoke imaginative responses and imply psychological states ; images grow out of the process and my interaction with the materials , I follow a journey with the painting to a point where colour and mark begin to trigger emotive associations , where the paint appears at once tactile and concrete yet simultaneously having the potential for illusion and the capacity to draw on the unconscious.” Peggy Cozzi has exhibited widely in the UK and Europe in many prestigious shows such as the Royal Academy Summer exhibition (2020 / 2017) . Her work is held in private and corporate collections in Europe , USA , Australia and Asia . Please follow the link to her website for more information on current events and exhibitions
