“Perhaps what’s most moving, is how this notion of interconnection travels out from the canvas, into our own consciousness, and even onwards in conversation.”
Electra Simon (b.1994) is an English + Lebanese artist with a practice that bridges art, design, storytelling and creative direction.
The belief in the unity of all beings is explored throughout Electra’s body of work. We follow characters on their travels through trails of thought, streams of consciousness, passing emotions. Each piece a stepping stone on a pilgrimage to find a sense of oneness.
The oils are applied thinly, scrubbed off and pushed around, eroding the treatment of our subject’s skin. In breaking down the separation of each self, a sense of the Divine begins to appear.
But perhaps what’s most moving, is how this notion of interconnection travels out from the canvas, into our own consciousness, and even onwards in conversation.
And so the pilgrimage continues...
