Caia Matheson is an Award Winning Contemporary British Painter whose highly acclaimed oil paintings on canvas are in Exhibitions and Private Collections worldwide.
Born in Johannesburg educated in Tokyo and London Caia takes her inspiration from these diverse cultures.
“My work is dictated by a fascination for wabi-sabi or the beauty of imperfection. I like to use a mixture of materials to achieve rich vibrant colours. I build the paintings up in layers and then scratch off and over layer again like a palimpcest.”
Currently based in Brighton, UK Caia has been working as a professional Artist for over 15 years.
