Born in 1988, she started painting as a child where she was captivated by her wild surroundings. A family holiday to the Outer Hebrides each summer was where it all began: “ I remember having picnics on the white shell sand beaches and being mesmerized by the crashing turquoise waves beneath the angry clouds scudding along the mountainous skyline ” Hermione would go on to capture the quick changing landscapes and feathery wildlife in a dreamlike way; a form of Magical Realism.

Champagne Reception: Pink Bliss Sofia Cacciapaglia View this email in your browser THIS FRIDAY, CHAMPAGNE RECEPTION: 21st April from 6 - 9pm The Palm Tree Gallery  is pleased to present  PINK BLISS , a solo exhibition by Italian artist  Sofia Cacciapaglia . Influenced by 20th Century painters Sofia has created a new body of work for the exhibition that combines the Apollonian and Dionysian: the passionate culture of Sicily, ancient Greece and Mediterranean civilisations. For this show the artist has used strong tones of reds and pinks reinforcing her profound poetic sensibility. Sofia’s oil paintings depict female forms and flowers in a ‘figurative-symbolic’ style. Her use of diptychs and triptychs and the negative space around her confident brush strokes create an elegant and ethereal feeling. ‘The forms are imposing yet light, they inhabit an unreal, timeless space’. The classic figures suspended in the space compliment each other and soft...
