NAYDENE GONELLA

Born in Canada, Naydene studied at the OCAD University in Toronto and Florence, Italy where she graduated with honors in the figurative discipline.

“I create my pieces in a process that involves layering, collaging, glazing and painting elements together. I then destroy certain parts of the image by stripping away some of the layers to reveal contradiction techniques. I work with a blend of beeswax and oil paint, known as encaustic, which gives a beautiful texture and depth of colour to my work."
