Margit Jones-Hochstrasser

Mixed media based on acrylics 

​

Margit has a fascination with art and appreciates a vast variety of artists and styles. In her eyes, art transports the viewer as well as the creator into an different world which can be stimulating, relaxing and even therapeutic. Or all at the same time. She is self-taught and is delighted to be able to spend more of her time creating her own pieces following a lifesaving, major operation in 2020. 

Inspired by all the colourful facets of life and the drama they bring with them, Margit loves experimenting with a variety of substrates and mediums to create a story with her paintings, all the time learning, expressing her inner world and exploring boundaries.

​

She plays with texture, mediums and techniques to energise her work to create mixed media in a very unique and bold style. She also plays with styles mixing abstract, impressionism with realism. She uses colours, marks, shapes and textures to express emotion and sometimes humour. 

The artistic inspiration for Margit comes from artists such as Monet, Chagall, Picasso, Klimt, Warhol, Klee, Hundertwasser, Jackson Pollock amongst other more contemporary artists such as Nicholas Wilton, Louise Fletcher, Jane Monteith, Ciara Gilmore, IndieRu and Sheleeart. She loves to loose herself in her art when working, responding to the direction that the painting opens up. She also loves to add a sparkle in one way or another. 

​

Painting for Margit is her way of breaking through boundaries. The intention of her work is to create expansion and stories that keep on giving. For the viewer to get drawn into the painting, meander through it and discover perspectives and possibilities along the way that touch their inner world.
