RENÉE DA ROCHA

With painting and portraiture being constant within my practice, exploring methods to present them as promotional pictures or advertisements has been my main focus.

Some images I create, aim to pay homage to historical South Asian culture and others, more personal to families within that community. I hope to evoke nostalgia within those who can understand and share the hardships and beauty of the cultures with those who are not familiar and, for those who enjoy learning about foreign tradition.

I want to convey the essence of relationships between families; within the ‘ordinary’ lives lived in places unheard of; simple lives that are beautiful and worthy regardless of perceived importance.
