Tina Figarelli
“I am currently studying as a junior at a state school for my BFA in painting. I have worked with oil paints for about 4-5 years now. I also like working with charcoal.
I tend to work a lot on the vulnerability of my subjects. In some pieces, I work directly from life. Especially in my recent pieces, I have a small collection of objects to pick and choose from.
I use myself as a model for most of my paintings, but I try and encourage the viewer to see not only a recognizable face, but a recognizable emotion.
For my submission, I am mainly looking to begin showing my work in galleries and competitions. I guess I would like to learn how to market my art more effectively, not so much in a commercial way but more into the contemporary art world.
My long term goals as an artist would be to continue my practice and mentor others as well. I am unsure if I want to go into academia, especially with the recent resurgence of mentor/student atelier style of learning. But I would like to show my work in galleries and remain a working artist.”
