Marcelina Amelia is a contemporary artist, working with mixed media approaches to print, painting and drawing. Taking inspiration from religious iconography, folk tales, dreams, sexuality, and the human condition, her work plays at the borders between lust and innocence, creating a beautiful and uneasy aesthetic that is saturated with contemplation and profundity. ‘Wish You Were Here. Greetings From The Seaside’ depicts a small figure riding a large black cat, against a tonal, colour blocked background of rose pink and teal. Deeply surreal and esoteric, the print is visually striking, not only in its theme, but in Amelia’s distinctive, illustrative style and in her exceptional use of bold palette and strong composition.
