Simler Marilyn trained in her native South Africa and in the U.K. Although she left Africa in 1978 the impact of her South African roots stayed with her both consciously and unconsciously, and expressed itself through her art in terms of light, colour, and imagery. This African heritage provides the initial layer of her art. Through travel and study around the world, subsequent layers were added. These influences include the impact of Italian frescoes, Byzantine mosaics, emblems and symbols of cultures as far apart as the Aztecs and India, all of which have been absorbed into her art. Ultimately it is the interrelationship of these forms, colours and textures, which remain present in her work.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Marilyn Simler is a contemporary British artist whose work delves into personal experiences through layers of color and texture, embracing an organic and tactile approach. Growing up in South Africa, with its stunning natural beauty, diverse cultures, vibrant colors, and intense light, has profoundly influenced her artistic vision.

Simler's imagery is shaped by her fascination with the sea and its environment, as well as the art of past and present civilizations. In her work, layers of time and space are both concealed and revealed, inviting viewers to engage with the depth of her creations. She aspires to create pieces that not only capture attention but also challenge perceptions through dynamic colors and forms.

Working in mixed media, Simler employs a variety of techniques, including painting, drawing, collage, and printing, to develop rich and varied surfaces that showcase the artist’s hand rather than relying on digital flatness. Constantly exploring new avenues of inspiration, she draws from her travels, the vastness of deserts with their diverse formations, colors, and textures, as well as the legacies of ancient civilizations.
