Not just art - A statement
I create black and white abstract drawings and paintings. Black has always shaped how I see things and white gives it room to move. I sometimes include red, for me, it’s grounding. For others, it can raise the temperature. That tension does something useful.
My work focuses on the hidden details and broken systems we live with. I want you to feel that jolt I get when I spot them. If the work unsettles you, good. That means it’s shifting something.
Putting this work out there isn’t always easy. But holding back doesn’t help. Once I’m done, I let it go and trust it’ll land where it needs to. I stand behind the work, not in front of it.
Art should make people uncomfortable and push for change. The world is burning, and some of us are still sitting back. My art challenges that apathy.
The story so far
Rose Marimon, sometimes working under the pseudonym RosyMyart, is an Australian artist based in Canberra. She works in black and white, using abstraction not to obscure but to reveal. Her art confronts what’s often ignored: climate collapse, social systems under strain, and the quiet damage we learn to live with.
She stepped away from art in the early 2000s to focus on other parts of life. A decade later, she returned with a sharper lens. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, which, alongside a growing sense of global breakdown, shifted her work toward the deeper structures we live inside and how they shape us.
Marimon’s background in graphic design and her connection to the 1980s, especially its music*, continue to influence her visual language. That era, full of bold contrasts and cultural contradictions, forms the backdrop to much of her thinking.
Personal and creative detours have shaped both how she works and what she pays attention to. That sense of interruption and re-entry is built into the work.
The RosyMyart Project is where all of this comes together. It’s an ongoing body of work that is honest, uncomfortable at times, and uninterested in easy explanations.
I’m not interested in the spotlight. I prefer working quietly behind the scenes, letting my art and my platform The Rosy Myart Project, speak for itself. I create because it matters to me.
