Amanda Mendiant

Amanda Mendiant - Art & Illustration

Piteå, Sweden
In Amanda's paintings, fashion meets art in a natural, confident and classical way while still feeling modern. You can clearly see the love for lines, color and the character in female form. She blends a hint of graphic design, playful illustration and confident brush strokes in her paintings… For almost 20 years the female character has been in the center of Amanda's work. The most inspiring form to portrait in all it's differences, variations and moods. Amanda talks about her women as strong characters who crave and demand their space both within the wooden frame of the canvas but also in the space where the painting then will hang.
