Marissa Madonna

“A Quilt of Faces” by Gallery 4% is a captivating art show that features the outstanding artworks of the artist Marissa Madonna. This show brings together different human emotions and creates a beautiful display. This solo exhibition features a series of carefully crafted artworks that show a variety of emotions, and cultures and tell you a story!

In the artist’s own words, “I am very much inspired by visual storytelling. The thing I love most is capturing my subject’s likeness through vitalizing details – both on the surface of the artwork, as well as the narrative behind it.

I often use a mixed media approach combining acrylic and colored pencils. Working this way combines the freedom of laying bold washes with the tight control of drawing. As the piece is built up in many thin layers, I can carefully explore all the details. Quilting these details together as a visual story is where I find my greatest artistic passion.”
