Daisy Parris is a contemporary British painter whose work explores the complexities of human emotion, trauma, and the tactile nature of psychological experience. Based in London, Parris has gained international recognition for a distinctive aesthetic characterized by raw, visceral mark-making and a vibrant yet unsettling color palette. Her canvases often function as a dialogue between the internal world of the artist and the external pressures of modern existence.

The artist’s practice is deeply rooted in the physical process of painting. Parris applies layers of oil paint with an intensity that reflects the urgency of her themes, frequently incorporating elements of text that act as fragmented internal monologues. These scrawled words and phrases offer a literary anchor to her abstract compositions, grounding the chaotic swirls of pigment in specific anxieties or memories. Her work often balances on the edge between abstraction and figuration, where skeletal forms or domestic objects emerge from thick impasto and energetic brushstrokes.

Central to her oeuvre is an investigation into the fragility of the human condition. Parris addresses subjects such as grief, isolation, and the passage of time with a brutal honesty that avoids sentimentality. The scale of her work often mirrors the magnitude of these emotions, with large-format paintings that confront the viewer with their sheer physical presence. Through her mastery of color and texture, Daisy Parris transforms personal vulnerability into a shared visual language, cementing her position as a powerful voice in the landscape of modern expressionist painting.
