Gisele (2019) Painting by Roberta Heslop

Hello, I'm Roberta Heslop. My art, alive with bold brushstrokes and a passionate palette, celebrates the feminine spirit. Each piece emerges instinctively, embracing the moment's perfection and allowing the canvas to unfold naturally. Adopting a 'less is more' philosophy, I sometimes trade my vibrant oils and acrylics for Indian ink, exploring the dynamic between space and form on white canvases. This minimalist approach highlights the essence of my work: the female form. The essence of my work celebrates the female form—a homage to authenticity, to the power and vulnerability that coexist within. It's an invitation for every woman to see herself through a lens of compassion and admiration, recognizing the inherent beauty that lies beyond societal standards. My art seeks to dismantle the narratives around body image, offering instead a space where every curve, every line, tells a story of empowerment and self-love. I wish for every woman to see themselves as I do: beautiful in their distinctiveness. Originating from Cape Town, SA, my journey has woven through New Zealand, Japan, and Italy, leading me to the serene Lake District in England. Here, surrounded by natural beauty and supported by my family, my creativity flourishes. My works, exhibited in Italy and the UK, resonate with collectors globally, from Europe to North America.
