Project Description
Denise Di Battista is a self taught artist from Carmarthenshire in South Wales.
“My style is the result I believe of my interest in science combined with a love of design and in particular colour. The subjects of my paintings are often situations that I have observed, particularly those where strong shadows, reflections or colours create patterns. I am fascinated by the way a change of perspective reveals a different shape. Nature is often the starting point for me; it never seems to ‘get it wrong’. I often simplify shapes and exaggerate colours to achieve the image that is in my head, however it is the way I feel about a particular subject that determines exactly how stylistically I paint.”
Life as a working artist has changed and producing limited edition prints has become important for many professional artists and Denise is no exception. She has invested in printing equipment and her husband has developed printing expertise, they now have a small successful business producing high quality limited edition prints using Innova fine art paper.
“I am an obsessive painter I am never happier that when I am painting, it sometimes frustrates but never bores me; I cannot imagine a life that doesn’t include painting.”
