Hello, I'm Patrizia G.
Patrizia Grilli aka Trix is originally a native of Rome, Italy, where she studied Graphic Design until the age of 18. Shortly afterwards, Trix found herself settled in London where she soon became absorbed in the eclectic and multicultural atmosphere of early 90s London. The thriving artistic and raving scene was to be the place where she first trained as a tattoo artist, executing custom designs and tattoos for international clients and developing a highly colourful style that can also be observed in her paintings. Tattooing, artistic and graphic detailing styles all coexist in Trix’s artistic world – interacting and contributing equally to her creative narrative. Almost 30 years after moving to London, Trix relocated to Thailand along with her husband and children where she began painting full time. 3 years after settling in Asia, Trix now has a gallery and studio in the heart of Phuket Art Village where she welcomes visitors from around the world. Trix is a self-taught artist on many levels and apart from the academic Graphic Design Diploma earned while living in Italy, everything since has been achieved from her love of art and a self- determination to learn. Heavily influenced by the art she was exposed to in Italy and London, this has all combined to drive an intense desire to succeed. Trix enjoys painting with oil colours and pigments, and the use of metallic hues are often seen in her works although she also loves to experiment with other mediums. Current themes include humans (mostly women), and animals in fantasy like worlds. With her paintings she explores the mind, feelings and uncertainties of many in the modern world by examining our subconscious relationship with nature and the universe in a bid to create awareness of our troubled inner-selves, and reconnect our spiritual path to it. All beings in her paintings are interpreted as a perception or an extension of ‘earth’ and aim to symbolise our relationship with our environment.
