Her use of rich, vibrant colors combined with a loose, almost chaotic brushwork gives her work a haunting yet whimsical quality. Figgis often reinterprets traditional subjects such as portraits, aristocratic gatherings, and historical scenes, infusing them with a sense of decay, distortion, and irony. Her paintings invite viewers to question the narratives of history and the roles of the characters depicted, making her a significant voice in contemporary art. Figgis’s works have been widely exhibited and are celebrated for their unique blend of satire and beauty.

What is Naive Art?

Naïve art describes a style of artwork that is simple and unsophisticated, often created by artists without formal training in an academy or art school. The style is characterized by a lack of advanced techniques, giving it a childlike appearance. Naïve art often features bright colors, simple shapes, and a straightforward approach to subject matter, reflecting the artist's untrained perspective.
