Belinda Aikas is an Australian born Melbourne based contemporary artist with a strong afflication with the Surf Coast
She has an extensive working career in the creative fields of Visual Merchandising and Interiors industries which inevitably developed her passion for persuing creating Art
Drawing on her experience as an Interior Decorator, she creates bespoke artworks and commissioned pieces upon request.
With a Diploma in Interior Design and Certificate in Applied Art-Interior Decoration she is able to meet with clients in assisting them scale the appropriate Artwork for their interior space.
Primarily, inspirations derive from the glorious Australian Coastline, a lifetime of Summers (and Winters) spent at the Surf Coast along the Great Ocean Road.
Sunset vistas, long walks at the beach, swimming in the ocean, storms and rainy days...
"I am passionate about incorporating these feelings and memories, capturing the elements of those moments into my canvas artwork creations"
Her work is held in private collections in Australia and overseas.
Belinda is an experimental mixed media artist, creating seascapes, waves and modern contemporary pieces in assorted mediums including acrylics, watercolours, ink, impasto, pearlescent and metallic hues, often finishing off a painting with a resin enhancement. Her creations are diverse and varied, so one day you may see a painting of rolling wave and the next one may be contemporary, modern, bold & abstract.
