About Carmen Cilliers

My paintings are an exploration and expression of my personal emotions, interpersonal relationships and recollections of childhood; the human condition; and also influenced by my travel experiences and their influences on my senses as well as inspiration drawn from current fashion and pop culture.

My aim is to represent my world and express, with my chosen media the emotional moments, quirky twists and often humorous encounters of life.

    love the white flowers with the soft green and pink it in the middle , against the background or black , and red with the hint of blue and pink , and ho the flowers just fade as you move toward the end of the canvas , love it well done

    Thank you Mel… I was a bit vague with my description and neglected to mention the branch was waving in a breeze and the only light was from the patio so I wanted to create a feeling of light being thrown onto the garden, hitting the florals and still keepig the overall effect of the dark sky… thanks for commenting : )

    This is quite a departure from your figurative work although it’s still busy and detailed. The crimson is a perfect base and it is very suggestive of a Chinese silk embroidery. It would make the most fantastic tapestry for the plush, red carpeted entrance of a swish hotel if you could get a tapestry workshop to make it up.
