Project Description
Rachel Eleni Somerville
My practice is about liberation, rebellion, and freedom. When I paint, I’m processing my thoughts, feelings, and experiences—the good, the bad- the drama. I’m swimming through the wins, the failures- sadness and the joy.
My practice is deeply connected to music; sound drives the dance of my brush. With music comes texture and color, which also guide the flow. Painting is like dancing—an unrehearsed dance that bubbles up from the soul. As Ernst Ludwig Kirchner wrote, “The painter needs to feel the power of life flowing through him like a river; otherwise he cannot paint.” For me, painting is a release, an escape, a celebration, and a confession. It embodies emotion and lived experience. It is the calm and the storm all at once—a mourning and a celebration.
