Trina Stewart - Starry Night

Starry Night  2022

watercolour paint and posca pen on paper

29.5H x 42W cm

I was inspired by Van Gogh’s work, Starry Starry Night. In this adaptation, some of the stars become fireworks. The buildings along the river bank are lit up and reflected in the water. This was a party.

Trina Stewart

I identify as: A scientist, A rationalist, Disabled, Lesbian/Queer, An Equality Advocate (gender, race, special needs/ challenges; sexuality and age), An Environmentalist, A Feminist.

Many of these identities would be considered a minority group and underpin many of the messages expressed in my art.

I do Art for reasons of expression and experimentation rather than striving for perfect execution. I very much enjoy working with mixed media, which allows me to embrace the scientist in me through experimenting with different mediums, varying techniques.

I create 3D textural works of art that can be viewed many times and reveal different details, whilst incorporating a meaningful message and an aspect of accuracy both educational or scientific.

I hope people can enjoy the journey of each piece and their own interpretations, as well as try to decipher my inspiration for each artwork.
