Oil paint on aluminum… LOVE! This is recent work by Beirut-born, London-based artist Ilona Szalay. I love her loose brushstrokes and lovely color choices, but it’s the way she paints women that gets me every single time. If you’d like to see some of Ilona’s stunning works in person, visit Arusha Gallery‘s booth {C05} at VOLTA14 in Basel Switzerland from June 11th ~ 16th.

ps. Ilona is one of the artists featured in my new book, “A BIG IMPORTANT ART BOOK … Now with Women”. I am so thrilled to have not only her beautiful work nestled into the pages of this beauty, but also her inspiring story. The book will be on shelves this Fall, but pre-orders are already underway. So. Exciting!
