Alana Barton is a visual artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Staged within a created reality, her paintings explore childhood and family relationships. Using a blend of figurative and abstract elements, she examines how complex emotions are captured in delicate gestures and expressions.
Sourcing inspiration from feelings of nostalgia and renaissance paintings, she explores movement and colour to convey ideas of surreal, dream like states that emerge through a playful approach to painting.
