hi, Shaqi is hereCute creatures, loud colours.
I paint soft-faced people, small houses and strange weather in gouache, ink and watercolour.
Bodies of work
5 series
Orange People
Flat, soft-edged figures in orange with closed eyes and calm faces. Big shapes in bold blocks of colour, somewhere between folk art and mid-century modernism.
Small Houses, Big Weather
Small buildings in dreamlike landscapes with oversized skies, clouds and trees. Busy ink stippling and hatching over saturated colour.
Blue Beings
Watercolour creatures, gentle and a little uncanny: blue and grey bodies, mask-like faces, crowns and halos.
Women with Red Hair
Women with long red or orange hair, flower crowns, halos and animal companions. Decorative pattern mixed with calm, stylised faces.
Characters
Illustrated characters with humour and story: animals, plants and small scenes.
Let’s talk art.
