It’s ALL Art by Rachel Grosova

When I started studying art, my main focus was metal engraving, e.g. copperplates, stamps, woodcut and so on. Therefore a major part of my study was academic drawing and painting, which is probably the reason why I enjoy this being an everyday aspect of my work. However, since I started exploring different techniques and approaches, I find myself thinking in a more contemporary way. I mainly enjoy wet media – watercolour, acrylic and oil paint, but I like to experiment with printmaking, mixed media and digital art.

I like to find inspiration within my favourite artists’ work, some of them being Piet Mondrian, Salvador Dali or Edward Hopper. But I always try and give a unique touch to each of my projects. The biggest aspect of my work is the human body – mostly female. My latest project has been about exaggerating female curves and highlighting them in a slightly different way, after which I decided to create a series of designs that would merge figure and architectural design together. My favourite outcomes were the Touch Mahal Project and Her name is Sydney, where I managed to combine two very well known buildings with female body.

Hi there, I’m Rachel. I come from a very large family, which not only taught me how to organise my own mess, but first of all, it has given me the ability of keeping a bit of playfulness in everything I do. I was born in Czech Republic and brought up by amazingly creative parents and eventually by great art tutors who helped me find the artist within myself. I came to Scotland in 2016 after I finished my study in Czech Republic, but that was when my personal development as an artist only started. Besides my Art and Design Foundation course I have been using every minute of my free time on my self-directed projects, including paintings and illustrations. And the best years are only to come.
