Meet Gretel

Gretel is a contemporary artist living and working in Essex, UK.

The human existence is a fluid and complex sequence of emotions, interactions and perceptions. Gretel Warner is a contemporary artist seeking to make sense of the ever-changing human experience. Her work is an investigative lens into the transient nature of human life and the emotions we experience in todays fast-paced, social media-centric world.
Gretel draws upon personal experiences, memories and trauma, interwoven with elements of imagination and dreams; creating visual communications that are charged with emotions. Through a vivid spectrum of colour, and alternating between refined and expressive brushwork, Gretel delves into the ever-shifting human psyche and physique, whilst admiring the nuances of everyday life and interactions.

​

For Gretel, her work is a tool of communication. The process is a very intimate and cathartic experience, allowing her to create a space where she is able to confront uncomfortable emotions and past trauma that she often struggles to articulate through verbal communication. The artworks are visual love-letters of comfort and reassurance to herself, and those who need it.
