Collection: GULJA HOLLAND

Born in 1990 in Malta, she is a visual artist based between London and Malta and specialising in figurative painting. She uses painting as a way of expressing her understanding of the human psyche, our relationships with each other and with the natural world. Recurring themes in her work are self-identity, environmental destruction and existential anxiety. Her aesthetic is shaped by a vast array of artistic influences ranging from Edvard Munch to Andy Warhol.
