Portrait of a Young Girl Painting

Giselle Turner is an emotive traditional painter whose pieces often take inspiration from the real, with careful focus on details, to bring to life the subtleties of certain emotions. They started out in hyperrealism using pencil on paper before transferring into a more impressionist style with oils on canvas. A poignant feature of their works lies in the eyes of their portraits, which is often the focal point of detail and emotion. In their personal life, Giselle leads a complex life with intense interpersonal relations. Being a queer Asian figure, they face many adversities in the current world, often finding solace in communities of diverse people, which in turn influences the diverse identities present in their works.
