Artist
Gwyneth Rasquinha
Gwyneth has studied Psychology and later Applied Art. Gwyn’s passion to paint is shaped by her constant quest for serenity and paints as a form of prayer. She draws inspiration from nature, children, music, beautiful prose and poetry. And has recently reconnected to her love for elocution and trains young students for the London Trinity Speech and Drama.
She is extremely grateful for her time spent in the UAE art community that embraced her and her work. Celebrating life, positive vibes, motivation, serenity and peace are recurring concepts in her meditative, expressive work. She loves experimenting with patterns, strokes and colour.
