Urszula is a Welsh artist who specializes in semi-realistic portraiture, primarily using gouache which blends realistic detail with a touch of abstraction, allowing for personal interpretation while maintaining a sense of familiarity. Gouache's vibrant color and texture add depth to each portrait, enhancing the emotional impact of the piece.
Urszula's work is deeply inspired by the album Goddess by Laufey, which delves into themes of love, self-perception. Urszula wanted to visually interpret the feeling of being left behind or seen as only to be discarded or misunderstood. The album's blend of vintage romance guides the emotional language of her portraits. Like the bittersweet emotions in her songs, Urszula's art explores themes of unrequited love, nostalgia, and the vulnerability of allowing oneself to be open, only to face betrayal.
