3 unusual facts about Raissa Venables


Raissa Venables

She is deeply influenced by Early Renaissance Flemish painters like Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden and Robert Campin, particularly with their usage of colour and lighting in their works.

Curators make the comparison of Venables’ work with thematic perspective found in Medieval art, in which objects are arranged in accordance to their spiritual values as oppose to their natural ones.

Venables developed an understanding of the system of proportion through drawing, which was a fundamental part of an artist curriculum since the Renaissance time.
