Angelic Schmidt
My work is a vibrant exploration of the human experience, often featuring the intersection between the natural world and the structures of human society. I often utilize a high-saturation palette and a realistic style to draw viewers in, using the initial beauty of a scene to create space for deeper social critique. By using a blend of the fluid, ethereal qualities of watercolor and the bold, opaque presence of acrylics, I mirror the complexities of my subjects, ranging from the delicate intricacies of nature to the weighted presence of people and animals. Each piece is intended to be uniquely constructed with a well-thought out concept and composition, focusing on intimate scenes through a lens that centers around the human experience and applies several artistic elements thoughtfully and purposefully in a way that contributes to the composition.
