Lydie Gallais

Growing up in France and being surrounded by Impressionist works has influenced me as an artist. As a printmaker, I love mixing colours and textures together to see how they interact and influence each other. I also enjoy creating expressive marks to illustrate rhythm, movement and to transport the audience into my world. I am constantly experimenting and feel a sense of freedom in doing so. I like making imaginary landscapes that people can relate to and lose themselves in. My artwork hopes to awaken the senses by conveying feelings and emotions. I studied at Camberwell College of Art and obtained a master’s degree in Printmaking in 2003.
