Goia Mujalli

(b 1985, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Mujalli's paintings of fictional tropical spaces reach out for longed-for realities. Her process begins with intuition; colour; rhythm; mark making and movement; which create room for her tropical memories to reappear. She tries to recreate specific emotions and human conditions such as sentimentality; celebration and euphoria. Underlying her work is a search for repetitive motifs that can consistently reproduce this celebratory mood.
