Hello, I'm DELMA B.

I am a Brisbane based artist. Many years ago I studied at the Brisbane Institute of Art and have been painting for over fifteen years. I am lucky enough to have my own purpose built studio which I love. It is my haven and retreat and where I can create art and be myself. Lucky me ! I now work full time as an artist. I'm conceptual​,​ my main area of interest being abstract expressionism. Initially and for many years my passion was the flow patterns naturally found in the ever changing universe. My medium was varnishes-- floor varnishes-- which I found a way to tint- I tipped the canvas to create beautiful transparent layers of paint that blended to form ever changing patterns. Unfortunately I became allergic to the varnish so I now use good quality acrylics and inks. More recently this interest in movement has developed into falling and floating shapes and complex colour fields with varied marks and objects that appear to move. I paint what I feel rather than what I see and often create several layers of colours and marks before the final painting emerges. My desire is to create work that is full of vibrant colour to create a sense of joy- and perhaps stir the imagination a little as well.
