Paintings that are heavily inspired by my poetry, womanhood, nature and spirituality.
Artist Statement
Hello! My name is Samantha Rumbidzai Vazhure, and my artistic journey began unexpectedly, spurred by the creation of my award-winning poetry collection, ‘Starfish Blossoms.’ In a quest to produce a marketing video for the book, I found myself facing the challenge of finding an artist capable of bringing abstract starfish flowers to life on canvas. Faced with this dilemma, I embarked on a journey into painting, despite my initial lack of experience in the medium.
Guided by my neighbour, a seasoned art teacher with 30 years of experience, I delved into the world of painting, learning the fundamentals on canvas. Through trial and error, I honed my skills, eventually achieving the ability to bring my poetry to visual life in the marketing video for ‘Starfish Blossoms.’ However, my journey did not end there. Inspired by my newfound passion, I continued to explore the realm of painting, drawing heavily from the themes of womanhood, nature, and spirituality that permeate my poetry. Living amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Welsh countryside, my surroundings serve as a constant muse, influencing the vibrant and expressive nature of my impressionist and expressionist art.
Each brushstroke, laden with texture and colour, becomes a tangible expression of emotion and experience. As a collector of fine art myself, I understand the profound impact that engaging with art can have on the senses. I invite you to immerse yourself in the tactile experience of my work, allowing the strokes and daubs of acrylic on canvas to resonate with your own senses and emotions, if only for a fleeting moment in time.My impressionist and expressionist art is vibrant and protrusive – touching and feeling strokes and daubs of acrylic on canvas is gratifying to the tactile sense, and I recommend you experience it at least once in this lifetime.
