Premio Combat Prize

My name is Tanya Marie Reeves, I’m a single mother of two and a Professional Artist from outback Australia, self-taught, flourishing from a natural talent and an exceptional eye. With over 20 years experience I proclaim my unique artistic expression predominantly through acrylic and mixed media, striking a balance between abstract and realism, manipulating lines and colours to create a kaleidoscopic feel while also exhibiting a meticulous sense of order. I have exhibited nationally throughout Australia and internationally, boasting shows in New York and Florence and Nice. I also design artisan craft and operate my own private gallery in my hometown.
Nila
12 Feb 2015
101x76x4cm
Acrylic on stretched canvas
My first painting for 2015! Took the kids getting out of my space and going back to school!
Nila is a female name which means ”dark blue” in Sanskrit. Perfect for this piece which was obviously inspired by the colour blue. Purely aesthetic and a little Avant Garde again using fine lines and contrasting shapes and patterns, my signature dish.
