Artist Bio
Raksmei Keo, has painted a series of Australian landscapes as she likes to explore the world and enjoy its varied environments and terrains. However, due to lockdowns in Victoria, Raksmei found herself restricted and her freedom to travel was no longer there. In this series of paintings, Raksmei has conveyed her experience in isolation by depicting her feelings of loneliness, frustration and hope, and using shapes that create a sense of relaxation and flow. The colour palette she uses expresses the pristine and beautiful qualities of the world as seen by Raksmei, prior to lockdown. These colour choices also create a feeling of excitement when we all have the freedom to travel again.
