HAUSofBEAU (Aiyla Beau Darling)

About

Mixed media abstract painter, naive and colourful contemporary works.

Statement

Beau has always worked within the creative field in some form, after completing her Bachelors she worked as a model, dancer, photographer, and hyperrealistic portrait artist. Having lived what seems like many different lives already, this colourful existence is where she draws much of her inspiration. Beau's work has changed a lot over the years. Finding that she needed another form of expression to translate her thoughts, she opted for abstract art. This became a form of communication that she rapidly fell in love with. Having an obsession with the nature of reality both from a scientific perspective and the more spiritual side, her pieces bridge the gap between theories such as chaos theory and the unnamed emotions felt universally that connect us all. Created intuitively with no end vision in sight, they become a collaboration between her intuition and the marks forming on the canvas, capturing a single event in time, a piece of the universal puzzle from a single point of view. The idea behind them is to show the unquestionable beauty in the seeming chaos of our universe and reality, within which there is still structure, geometry and an understanding of the balance between space and form. Beau's pieces, although free form structures, with somewhat childlike, naive mark making, are still considered, purposeful and intentional. Working in various mixed media, she is focused on creating imposing, emotionally provocative works, with a use of colour that beckons the viewer to look deeper.
