Lauren Carvel
My name is Lauren Carvel – I am a traditional oil painter that fell in love with portraiture throughout my progress of learning in college and university. Over a few years, I’ve managed to learn new techniques and have found a passion for the depth that oil paintings create. They’re unlike any other medium for me and I enjoy the unique methods during creating work with them.
For my three pieces I wanted to venture through the lives of wild animals and see how they’re portrayed or seen in society today. I wanted to look at them in a more in depth way looking into their ways of survival and life including the threats they face. This lead me to focus on animals that are endangered because of human beings and therefore I chose Elephants, Rhinos and Tigers. I created paintings that try to celebrate and show of their individual beauty for what they are and hopefully raise awareness to them and how we should be doing more to save them.
