About the artwork:

2020-2021 is where art of distant times and isolation took place. It was a challenging and unexpected year where fortunately, for some, art had a place. It gave artists, just like Amanda, the chance to express their version and perception of the pandemic, lockdown and isolation. Through 2021-2023 Amanda's drastic life changes took place where she moved to Amsterdam, London, Paris.

Her inspiration only flourished and evolved her paintings into the new series "Stories of struggle & survival", which was exposed for the first time in Corfu.

The paintings displayed, have in common the solitary symbolism and anticipation to be "set free", to be in control again, to adjust to new realities and routines. The art here depicts that period of her life. A stage where comfort and liberation seem to be replaced by physical and psychological struggle in order to settle and survive.
