My name is Hollie Boyle. I am an Artist. In the picture above you will see my latest art work which is Acrylic on Canvas Paper and it's name is Goddess.
She sparkles as I dusted her surroundings with a gold shimmer and her figure is painted with abstraction in mind not giving her an age or race. She could be anyone the viewer chooses her to be.
However, to me she represented the Elite in the Artworld (the few). Then there is me in front of her representing the rest of us wearing a dress fashion from a bin bag.
The rest of us being talented yet struggling artists that have to jump through way to many hoops, face many rejections and criticisms. We are treated like rubbish because we are not born into the industry, we are the working class and are not offered as many opportunities as the few elite ones. The divide needs to end and more of the artists in my category given opportunities to show our art, our visions and our creative passions. Because no matter who or where we are as humans even if we are made to feel rubbish we still find our creativity and make the world a beautiful place.
