Elizabeth Colomba

Artist

From Martinique descent, born and raised in France, Elizabeth Colomba is a representational artist living in New York City. After receiving her degree in applied arts in Paris, she continued her studies while intensively developing her own style. Upon graduating from college, and trying out her skills in storyboard advertising, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue painting while working on feature films. Her aesthetic draws inspiration from Old mastery and refers to mythological, allegorical, historical narratives mixed with her cinematic skills. Depicting stories featuring black characters, are rising a complex issue about what it means for people to define themselves through images and the impact it has on one’s psyche. Elizabeth Colomba generates a space for her subjects to inhabit the re-writing of their history, in that sense, she analyses the construction of identity and tangled interrelationship between past, present in our collective identity today.
