The 38-year-old artist, Velvet Winters, has come back to the city after a long absence. Her latest work is a series of portraits of her previous friends and lovers, all of them dressed in a style that seems to be a mixture between traditional art and the surrealist tradition of the 1920s.
The paintings depict a world of dreamers, thinkers, artists, and poets, with a palette that is at once soft and vibrant. The portraits are an exploration of the self and others, as well as an attempt to find a kind of peace that has been missing from the lives of her former friends and lovers.
