Acrylic & mixed media on canvas.

My paintings live in the same world as my coloring pages, female figures, archetypes, symbols, and a lot of gold. Most of them start as a paper collage: printed lineart from my coloring pages and pages from my book illustrations layered together, then painted over in acrylic. Every piece below is a one-of-a-kind original; prices are in Swiss francs and shipping is added on top, from Switzerland. If something speaks to you, just write me.

This one began with one of my coloring pages used as a printed paper background layer. Most of my paintings work this way, a base layer made from my own lineart and pages from my book illustrations, painted over in acrylic until something new comes through.

2022

Three series, each exploring one archetype.

Hekate

Goddess of crossroads and quiet thresholds. Two small canvases, each on its own.

Painting is the slowest part of my work, and the one that surprises me most. Layers get covered and rediscovered, a face turns into a different face, gold finds its way in somewhere I didn't plan. New paintings always appear here on this page first, and if one of them speaks to you, just write me.

Thank you for looking,

Carolyn Pini
