Grace Watts

Grace Watts creates vibrant compositions in oil, acrylic, and graphite on canvas, drawing inspiration from a philosophy of self-evolution. Her process often begins with deep dives into philosophical texts, extracting passages that resonate with her and transforming them into symbolic narratives for her work. Like Hilma af Klint, Watts explores the significance of the soul and personal growth in her art. With a background in graphic communication, Watts initially pursued a career in graphic design and art direction. Her work reflects a fascination with textural depth, influenced by her exploration of modernist interiors through photography. She values the lived-in appearance of her canvases, achieved through multiple layers, which add a sense of richness and depth to her pieces. read less
