5. Artist Statement
“My work can be divided into three main activities: portrait painting, still life and paintings of toys, especially Lego, of which I have a “healthy” obsession. Inspiration comes from my own experiences relating to human emotions and memories of childhood. I am drawn to the seductive nature of toys, attracted by their colour and simplified shape. I like to take that long forgotten or much loved object and give it a moment in the spotlight. I am also interested in the emotional attachment that is formed with such inanimate objects, and how people give them personality and life through their imagination, whatever the age. Paint is applied both figuratively and abstractly. Whilst all my paintings are representational, they are not limited to a particular style and the experimentation of the paint plays a major role in my art.My current work combines my love of vintage items and Lego to produce little detailed paintings that seem to make people smile; which is always a good thing.” - Deborah Cauchi
