Serena Buonaguidi- Haynes — Parker Gallery

Serena Buonaguidi-Haynes

Serena was born in London to Danish/Italian parents. She studied painting and sculpture at Art college, where she started casting faces and taught herself basic prosthetics. Going on to become a successful makeup artist, working in television and advertising.

However, she was drawn back to painting. Serena works with her hands, donning latex gloves she makes large bold brush strokes for the background. She wipes off paint with a cloth and uses her fingers to paint the figures, she then uses pencil and wire to scratch in the finer detail. She lays her pieces on the floor and walks around them as she works.

Serena moved to Nelson in 2010. Her inspiration to paint deer and birds came from moving from the city to an amazing lifestyle block and being surrounded by wildlife. The paintings are often perceived as other worldly, embracing the mythical aesthetic, appearing ethereal, fragile and dream like. The surface of some of her work catches the light, giving a sense of depth, like a glassy surface of water to submerge yourself in.
