Yvonne Rojas-Cowan

Yvonne Rojas-Cowan a self-taught artist, creates digital paintings which she then translates into contemporary fine art. With brush strokes on canvas, Yvonne creates intense personal moments reflective of life. Her paintings are based on personal associations which relate to significant experiences from her life. Multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. By letting her intuition guide which direction a work will go, she aims to develop forms that are based on deeply vulnerable topics which incite the viewer to make new personal associations.
