My landscapes are my way of escaping everyday routine. Despite being a city person at heart, I like nothing more than my daily walks in the countryside rain or shine. My painting style is diverse and inspired by my surroundings and the mood they evoke at that specific time. I transmit those emotions in many ways, sometimes smoothly, at other times more emphatic, celebrating paint’s fascinating ability to express things which cannot be put into words. I like working in series to tease out every facet of what can be experienced from a specific place. I also enjoy zooming in, to focus minutely on tiny details. I paint mostly in oil and my compositions are derived from my own sketches and photographs. I have recently undertaken outdoor paintings as a new practical challenge where quick decisions need to be made to tackle the ever-changing light and weather conditions. My practice has evolved from a more conceptual approach inspired mostly by Modernism. The geometric abstract works I have constructed from mathematical theorems and multi point perspective have informed my understanding of space and depth. I see the world in shapes and colours, experiencing it in my heart, recording those sensations with my brushes and seeing where my art takes me.
‘Painting from nature is not copying the object. It is realising one’s sensation.’ Paul Cezanne.

Scarlett Segal is a UK based artist known for her eclectic style and playful use of materials and surfaces. She explores spatial representation and perception in a multidisciplinary practice, blending and blurring the classical genres of landscape, still life and portraiture.
Born in Paris Scarlett has spent most of her life working and raising her family in London before relocating to the South Downs in East Sussex where she now has her studio. Inspired and influenced by the art and artists of both capital cities she studied Art History at The Open University, Christie’s, Sotheby’s and The Courtauld Institute before picking up pencil and brush to pursue her true passion. Post her Foundation at UCA Farnham and an Art Degree at the Art Academy in London she set up her studio, experimenting with different styles and interpretations in order to find her voice.
This is a process that will never stop. Like her Centenarian Grandad, she believes every day is an opportunity to learn something new - pushing boundaries in her art as a means of self-expression in a world she finds increasingly superficial and fleeting in the way it presents itself.
With her desire to inspire others, Scarlett has taught art to children and adults and given art history talks in London galleries.
Her work is held in private collections in the UK and France.
