About

Margot Blackk is a contemporary abstract artist.

My life is shaped by a series of experiences that influence my actions, feelings, and contemplations. Even the smallest moments hold significance, and the responses they evoke accumulate to form my entity. I perceive the interplay of internal and external influences as a journey of self-discovery that informs my artistic practice, enabling me to create immersive experiences.

Pictorial, in my art, transcends mere emotional representation; it embodies the cumulative results of one’s introspection. Through oil paint, I delve into its depth via overlay colours and gestural brushstrokes, which evoke a range of reactions. I am drawn to its potential to elicit diverse experiences and multifaceted effects rather than conforming to a specific classification, context or ideology.

By creating a realm of resonance for internalization through open-ended pictorial, I invite viewers to engage in an ongoing dialogue with my art. This approach encourages them to explore their own interpretations, ultimately weaving a rich tapestry of shared experiences and effects.
