Not just art

I create black-and-white abstract drawings and paintings as a direct, unfiltered way to express myself. Black-and-white has been a constant in my life since childhood, shaping how I see the world—or maybe it’s just what I’ve always been drawn to.

​

My work focuses on the hidden environmental and human crises that are too easily overlooked in modern life. These issues, masked by convenience, continue unchecked, mostly unchallenged. Through my art, I pull them into focus. I want to evoke the same discomfort I feel when confronting these realities. My pieces aren’t just representations. They are mirrors. If they make you feel uneasy, good. That’s the point.

​

Every line, circle, and spiral carries weight. They hold my frustrations, emotions, and observations about things beyond my control and those I can’t change alone. Sometimes, I add an element of red. It’s my favourite colour and a personal source of comfort, providing a brief distraction from the heaviness of my themes. For others, though, it has the opposite effect, making the discomfort louder.

​

Sharing my art isn’t about seeking approval or permission. There’s no single message. More than anything, my work gives my emotions and experiences a physical space outside myself. For me, the process matters most. It’s a release, a protest, a way to throw my frustrations, sadness, and disappointment back at the world. Sometimes, putting it all out there feels risky, but that risk excites me because it feels like freedom.

​

I want my work to move through the world unguarded, without boundaries or explanations. Free to find its way and connect with those who need to see it. Like me, it doesn’t need permission to exist. It just does.

Most people on the planet don't realise that most people on the planet are destroying the planet.

The story so far

Rose Marimon, also known as Rosy Myart, is an Australian artist based in Canberra. Her work poses challenging questions about the state of the world. She balances abstraction with meaning in her art, using the spiral as a symbol for the cycles and connections that shape life.

 

After stepping back from art in the early 2000s due to personal responsibilities, she returned 10 years later with a renewed focus. The pandemic and growing concern for the planet inspired her to explore humanity’s impact on society and the environment more deeply. Her background in graphic design and the influences of the 1980s, particularly the music (listen to Rosy Myart's 1980s playlist), reflect the context of her formative years and the undercurrents of her creative process, laying a foundation for exploring challenging themes.

​

Through exhibitions and The Rosy Myart Project, her work invites reflection on the pressing issues we face, offering viewers a moment to pause and consider the world we’re creating. Looking ahead, her work continues to evolve, with The Rosy Myart Project serving as a platform for her ongoing journey and commitment to her practice.

I draw and sometimes I paint, but always inspired by people, nature and 1980s music.
