Becky Shirvani
Becky Shirvani is a British expressionist painter whose work emerges from the vibrant cultural landscape of Brighton, where her practice has developed into a distinctive language of colour, texture, and emotive abstraction. Her paintings balance spontaneity with subtle compositional control, resulting in deeply atmospheric works that explore the interiority of human experience. Shirvani’s artistic process is rooted in intuition. Layering paint with fluid gesture and rhythmic mark-making, she allows each piece to evolve organically, responding to the interplay of colour and form as it unfolds on the canvas. Her surfaces often appear alive, shifting between serenity and tension as light catches the textured layers embedded within. This responsiveness to mood and moment gives her work a remarkable sense of immediacy, as though capturing emotion in motion. Drawing from nature, memory, and the psychology of colour, Shirvani creates immersive works that invite contemplation. Her practice acts as both a release and a form of storytelling, transforming intangible feelings into visual landscapes. With a growing presence in contemporary British art, Shirvani continues to refine a voice that is soulful, dynamic, and unmistakably her own.
