We all have a voice if we allow it to speak.
My name is Joanna Gilbert and I graduated in 2018 with a Masters in Fine Art from UAL Chelsea College of Arts where I was awarded a distinction. It was during my Masters and reaching some of the lowest points of my life, that I found an invincible strength within me.
As Albert Camus, the French Philosopher said;
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love,
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
My work has been featured
My prints are photographs of originals that are displayed in hotels, offices and homes around the world.
"Bold and beautiful large-scale abstract pieces ooze visceral energy. They show freedom in all its forms, endless potential and limitless thinking; it's as if Joanna has shed an old skin that she had been hiding behind for many years before finally emerging whole like never before: fearless and free!" - Estelle Lovatt, BBC Art Critic
