Hygieia

Meg Allan works in oil, graphite and charcoal and prefers to work in a layered, detailed manner. Forever a classical painting enthusiast, with strong influences from Bouguereau and Waterhouse, Meg’s work is steeped in layers of symbolism, myth, prose and spirituality.

Meg likens the creation of a painting to crafting a world within a world. The act of building an image becomes a kind of searching implement, resonating between the seen and the unseen, always with the aim to obtain a greater understanding of both.

Each work becomes an open conversation with the Zeitgeist, a world to get lost within, in order to gain fresh insights or re-interpret existing concepts. To stir thought and question perceptions of reality, comforting and healing from within.
