Artist Statement
|
With my whimsical female portraits I hope to express the beautiful, powerful, multifaceted Female Spirit. It has always been my belief that ALL women are beautiful regardless of age, size, ethnicity, or personal style. But now I wish to delve deeper in order to express the characteristics that make each woman unique and filled with their own signature blend of magic. Could it be compassion or maybe a knack for making others smile? Our power lies in our ability to shape ourselves and the world around us.
By combining my greatest passions of metal detecting and rockhounding I am able to create Mixed Media Artworks using pieces of gold and silver as well as real crystals and minerals pulled from the earth with my own hands. I love to combine these raw materials with pearls, buttons, gems, spirographs, crackle paste, pouring medium, glitter, polished crystals, seashells, and other items found in nature. With extreme attention to detail these treasures are incorporated into my realistic portraits which have been painted with care using acrylic and oil paint. The expectations for female looks and behaviours are numerous, unrealistic, and truly harmful to the Female Spirit. I urge all women to shed societal pressures and do what is right for them as an individual. I sincerely wish that when my viewers see my Artwork they will be empowered to love themselves deeply and be overcome with their own magnificence. |
Biography
|
Malinda Prud’homme is a talented Mixed Media and Portrait Artist who works from her cozy studio in Toronto's Art & Design District. She's been a professional Artist since 2009 and began her Full-Time career in 2012. Malinda has achieved amazing things, including exhibiting her artwork internationally, discussing her work on television, which was syndicated around the globe, and attracting patrons from all over the world. However, in her mind her greatest achievement is being able to positively impact someone's life with her artwork and message.
Malinda grew up feeling like an oddball who was very sensitive and saw things differently than most. She was bullied from an early age and found even when she tried to fit in she was never understood. Because of this experience, and because she absolutely LOVES learning, she wanted to become a compassionate and enthusiastic teacher. Unfortunately the Ontario Teaching Market was flooded so she was not able to find a position. After a period of mourning her original dream she fought to make the best of the situation by reaching for a goal most thought would be impossible; she became a Full-Time Artist. Malinda has always used her artwork and social media platforms to encourage people to love themselves despite the harsh and unrealistic expectations society has placed on them. Her artistic style is heavily influenced by the artists of the Renaissance period and Pop Art era. She masterfully blends smooth realistic portraiture with bold colours, patterns, and mixed media elements. Her paintings are both whimsical and utterly impressive in detail. While her art career is incredibly important to her, Malinda believes in a balanced lifestyle which is why she maintains a variety of hobbies and interests. She loves Metal Detecting while the sun rises and is an avid World Traveller. She also adores spending days in the wilderness Rockhounding for Crystals and has gone back to College to become a Geologist. Apart from that, Malinda can be found cuddled with her cats, reading a fantasy novel, watching a favourite TV show, or spending time with her best friend and husband, Darren Edward. |
