Mia Funk
Psychological portraiture is at the core of what my paintings are all about. I aim to create dramatic and disturbing images which explore the isolation, perversity and complexity of the human condition. My latest existential crime paintings are concerned with finding the violence, eroticism and obsession that lies beneath the surface of the creative process. - Mia Funk
Very powerful...the morph of the bird of prey and Beckett’s head is particularly peculiar and apt - Cherry Smyth, art critic (Modern Painters)
Funk is on top of her game. The new range of her vision and subject in attacking icons from the world of art – Bacon, Beckett and Freud - is a ‘wonder to behold’.Patrick Healy, author, lecturer & art critic
Captivating...permeated by a dark restless spirit which is very original and penetrating. Somehow she has managed to create a thin restlessness and atmosphere of anxiety. A.M. Soldini, Art Critic & Founder of the Arts Factory
