"My work is derived from the unconscious – both the ambiguity of the concept itself and its role in my own psyche." -PO

POLINA ALAMAA
"Contemporary thinking applied to traditional methodology is an essential part of my artistic practice. My approach is hands on, and experimental, primarily using traditional drawing and painting techniques. I work mostly with acrylic paints, or mixed media on canvas or panel boards of medium scale. All of my canvases are built and stretched by hand. I also make digital illustrations and serigraphs.
I like to utilise automatism and intuition within my works, whereby the content is spontaneous and semi-abstract. I would describe my imagery as dreamy, feminine, somewhat melancholic, yet playful. " - Po
