Through tone and style, she encapsulates her creative vision, allowing each painting to linger more beautiful than the next. “Working directly from life, I individually paint and draw the fabrics in my works through a system of collage.

Massive drawings by Brianna Angelakis are absorbing self-portraits, placing the artist among contorted shapes and forms. The graphite work impresses at any distance, and in a statement, the artist explains her pursuit in these portraits and her own state as being “transfixed by beauty, I remain stationary amid the nonsensical world.
