How do you balance the use of traditional painting techniques with modern digital tools in your creative process?

Well, every day I draw or paint traditionally either in my sketchbook or by just creating small works with ink to keep myself loose. At that point, I will transfer those ideas digitally and or enlarge them and make larger paintings. Digital transforming can allow me to make them into affordable prints, cards and stickers, and even a book. A larger painting would be if I may want to submit to a gallery show.

Bex Wilkinson's paintings can be described as a vivid exploration of the abstract and figurative, where the visceral meets the ephemeral. Her work is a dance of colors and forms, a visual symphony that captures the complexities of emotion and the subtleties of the human condition. Wilkinson’s technique is reminiscent of the action painting of the Abstract Expressionists. Yet, it bears a personal stamp that is undeniably unique. The dynamic strokes, the splattering of paint, and the bold, sometimes almost violent application of color, create a sense of movement that is almost palpable. There is an urgency in her brushwork, a need to convey not just an image but a sensation, a feeling, an experience.

What are some of the challenges you face in your artistic practice, and how do you overcome them?

Sometimes, it can be challenging to maintain an experimental approach while also creating work that resonates with a broader audience. When I encounter people who find my work difficult to understand, I often ponder on how to make it more accessible to the public. My approach to addressing this involves not only exhibiting the artworks themselves but also attempting to display accompanying texts or video materials that explain them.

Looking towards the future, what aspirations do you have for your art? Are there new themes or techniques you wish to explore?

I certainly plan to continue developing my unique graphic style. Additionally, I intend to increase the incorporation of augmented and virtual reality, which I am already using in my works. Perhaps, the most important goal for me is to learn how to create pieces that resonate with the soul of every individual even more, evoke positive emotions, and, hopefully, inspire them to live their unique life to the fullest every day. After all, isn't that why we are here?

Painting in the melancholic style is a captivating and emotive genre that evokes a sense of sadness and introspection. This artistic approach often utilizes muted colors, somber tones, and shadowy imagery to convey a mood of melancholy and introspection. Artists who delve into this style explore themes such as loss, solitude, longing, and the transient nature of life. From the brushstrokes to the subject matter, every element in these paintings is carefully crafted to evoke a deep emotional response from the viewer. The melancholic style serves as a powerful medium for artists to express their innermost thoughts and feelings, creating a profound connection between the artwork and its audience. This is where award winning artist Leigh Witherell lives.

Your work beautifully merges celestial imagery with human biology, particularly inspired by Lennart Nilsson's photography. Could you elaborate on how this fusion shapes your artistic narrative?

I would say that first it shaped my believes and way of life, the artistic narratives emerged later. It has to do with a phrase I use often in my writings, I call it the separation illusion , meaning that we are accustomed to see the world as accumulation of separate entities. Viewing the celestial elements brings in mind that we are part of a much greater reality, our body is built out of trillions cells, the universe is created out of trillions galaxies, each cell has a nucleus and is composed out of myriad molecules and atoms, each galaxy is composed out of stars as our Sun and planets.
