Courtenay Kusitor In The Studio
My abstract paintings delve into the power of human consciousness using bold, unapologetic colours and intuitive markings. I try to fearlessly experiment with compositions, inviting you to join me in exploring facets of our awareness. Amidst the chaos of our world, I aim for my art to provide a space for contemplation. To celebrate what is felt and seen by reconnecting with our consciousness.
