Trinidad Ball - Still Life - Vegetables

Make an enquiry

Born in Barcelona, of Catalan parents, Trinidad has lived in Spain and Latin America before moving to England where she has now lived for many years.

She has trained at Central St Martin's, Putney School of Art and South Thames College.

She started painting in 1997 and in 2003 resigned her post as Probation Officer to dedicate herself full-time to art. The interaction of colour is the basis for Trinidad's work.  She is excited by bright, strong colour and the drama created by darkness and light.

Inspired by the Spanish and Dutch Masters, and moved by the colours of Van Gogh, her paintings have been described as "displaying fine technique, and an assured heightened sense of colour and form".

For Trinidad each painting is a challenge and an adventure. Observation is the key, working with the composition and background, this compels her to paint. Through the use of thin layers of high pigment oil paint, the aim is to render a translucent and luminous painting which gives the viewer the illusion of high realism.
