Antonia Glynne Jones

Statement: I am an abstract and semi-abstract painter, working primarily with oil paint and some mixed media to create vibrant expressive work. I was born and raised in Africa and have a passionate affinity with untamed vistas whether desert or sea. I define spaces through colour. Drawing on my emotional and physical reaction to times, places, and events, I combine observation and personal feelings to create artworks that are filled with directness, immediacy, bold dynamic mark-making, colour and texture.

“For me drawing and painting is about the interaction between the discipline of observation and the spontaneity of mark-making in terms of my physical and emotional response to the subject”.
