Tayla Broekman
Tayla Broekman is a Melbourne based artist and muralist. She paints pop surreal female characters and animals, who often reflect her experiences through an emotional narrative.
Though her concepts are expressed fairly subconsciously, her work looks at connection to herself and others, spirituality, love and fear. Every character she paints, human or animal, is an unconscious form of self portrait. Colour palette is also a key feature of each piece, either using bold contrast or soft tones and colours. Design elements like colour represent her mental state and values too, depicting a sense of harmony or strength.
As a studio artist, she primarily uses gouache and acrylic paint, while her murals are created with spray paint and house. She currently has a studio at Everfresh in Melbourne.
