Phase 3: Motherhood  2018

Ode to maternity:

A mother is nursing her child and we can discern perhaps there are two women holding the infant in this artwork. Being dyslexic and working with both hands turning my paper continuously brings surprises to even me as its uniqueness is completely unplanned.

Surrendering to the spontaneity I still am learning to live with ‘the gift’ and I embrace my individualism. Neena is third generation of adopted baby girl in my lineage, the narrative about mother and child here is about unconditional love and the gift of life. The pluralism is expressed via the gold jewellery and the fabrics, the background is worked with brass metallic paint.

About Daniele Lamarche-Sarvia:

Native French speaker originally from Montreal, Canada Daniele’s formative art years started at fifteen at the Montreal Museum Summer School in a very traditional French methodology.

From a long lineage of visual artists, art curators, archaeologists and fervent explorers, Daniele's works are strong and full of social commentaries that makes her art unique.

Daniele's figurative expressionist style is full of unexpected contrasts. Her original visual stories are remarkably distinctive and flamboyant, and her unorthodox uses of watercolours is wild.

A distinguished visual artist, Daniele has produced several bodies of work and solo shows. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions in Australia but also where ever she lived throughout the world. She has won prizes, awards, competitions and received several grants and mentions over the years.
