Bio

Tipi is a multidisciplinary artist based in Hackney Wick/Fish Island, London. Through painting, street art and sculpture, she explores themes around life paths, how we are all interconnected, our life choices, and ultimately the brief nature of our existence.

Tipi is influenced by the symbolism and artistry of antique art, including Old Master paintings, 17th Century Vanitas, and South American pre-Columbian and colonial art. She is also inspired by the innovative, colourful and conceptual styles of modern and contemporary art, especially pop culture, postmodern spiritual symbolism and street art.

Tipi holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, and while her professional life has spanned various creative disciplines, she is currently focused on her artistic career, having already exhibited in different spaces across East London.

About my work

I like to explore the idea of how the course of our lives changes, what makes them change, how important the decisions we make are, and how they influence the course of our lives. This doesn’t just happen on a personal level; everything that happens to us and everything we do have an influence on others and ultimately shape our cultures and history.

Through mainly painting, but also digital collage, sculpture, and street art, I generate different narratives that reveal how the course of time is affected not only by us and our choices, but by everything that surrounds us and our moment in time.
