Lily Mortensen

B. 2000, Denmark. Lives and works in Sydney. Lily Mortensen is a Sydney-based painter whose intuitive, process-led practice explores subconscious states and emotional perception. Working primarily on unstretched canvas, she layers spray paint, vinyl emulsion, oil, and watercolour to create compositions that shift between spontaneity and control. Mortensen is a Danish-Australian artist. Her paintings are defined by bold colour and fluid compositions which unfold according to the logic of dreams. Through emotive colour and spontaneous expression, Mortensen manifests rich, vibrant worlds saturated with ungraspable meaning.
