Avalon Plant








Avalon Plant is an oil painter and muralist based in Aberystwyth. Since completing her BA and MA, she has explored the world of interiors, often combining realist painting with flat, geometric patterns in layers. Her paintings are especially inspired by Dutch Golden Age interiors, Welsh patchwork quilts and Italian art, stemming from her Italian heritage and upbringing.

At their core, her paintings seek to dissect the relationship between figure and space; how our personalities and experiences bleed into the spaces we occupy. She explores intimate spaces and sentimental objects, often depicting motifs from her own family homes and homes of her loved ones. She is particularly drawn to a woman's relationship to home, and tends to return to this subject matter.

In recent years, she has taken up painting murals, enjoying working at a large scale and in public settings. Her mural work is slightly more varied in style, due to working with specific client briefs, but allows a different way of working as a professional artist.
