Rhianna May
|
Rhianna May is a contemporary figurative artist based in Mount Maunganui, Aotearoa. Working primarily in oil and pastel, her practice explores the emotional landscapes that sit beneath everyday experience, focusing on quiet moments of pause, reflection, and subtle inner shift.
Grounded in portraiture yet moving beyond likeness, her paintings aim to capture sensation and presence—using colour and gesture to express the tension between vulnerability and strength, and to give form to the often unspoken weight of memory. |
Contemporary figurative works that explore the inner and outer worlds, through colour and pose |
