Donna Faranda
Artist Bio
My artwork represents the tension which exists between the real and the fantastic, between the dream state and mundane reality. Inspired by Japanese woodblock prints and pre-Raphaelite paintings, I utilize contemporary methods of painting using a computer program as a means of creating art. Working in a pointillist style I am able to depict imagery as in a genre painting to create dream-like portraits. Born out of mythic tales, my art traverses the realms of desires, fantasies, and myths, while maintaining a playful innocence, reflecting back on the female psyche.
