About the Artist - Portia Hibbert

My Story and Inspiration

"Art from Portia" was born out of a passion for creativity, self-expression and the freedom art provides.

Whilst I’ve always admired art, going to galleries, it wasn’t until May 2024 that I decided to start painting. Favouring contemporary art, I don't restrict my style, letting my mind lead the way between abstract and realism.

I am drawn to creating art with a level of ambiguity, allowing the viewer to resonate with a piece in their own way, with their own interpretations. I’m fascinated by how a single piece of art can evoke diverse interpretations and emotions. 

I mainly work with acrylics and oil paints but love to experiment and evolve my craft. This journey continues to be a liberating one!

A Bristol-based artist, I love creating unique pieces that resonate with the soul. Each painting reflects my emotions, brought to life with bold colours and layered textures.

Growing up in the English countryside - Oxfordshire, Yorkshire and the Lake District - nature has always grounded me and now influences my art. At the centre of my creations are emotions; people and how we think, feel, have always fascinated me and this comes out in my artwork. My life experiences, relationships, emotions and personal experiences (especially my journey with epilepsy) influence my paintings. 

My goal is to keep nurturing my love for painting while continuing to grow and refine my skills. Painting brings me so much joy and if my art brings joy or inspiration to you or others along the way, then what an incredible bonus!
