Emma (1980) is an independent artist, currently based in Amsterdam.
She started painting in 2018, when living and working in Barcelona, Spain.
She took classes at Studio Subide, run by the artist Monica Subide. During these classes Emma first got introduced to portrait painting with oil, something that became the basis of most of her work.
Live drawing sessions at Clerce Artistic Sant LLuc became part of her daily routine, where figure sketching and portrait were the main point of focus. Here she quickly developed her drawing skills.
For Emma painting is a way of withdrawing from the chaos outside. It is a way of exploring the inner world trough lines, colours and shapes. She mostly paints on wood and paper. Most of her work is for sale.
