The Fine Art illustrations and paintings of Lisa Scollan
This site features the art, drawings, and paintings of Lisa Scollan. Lisa is a graphic artist who uses symbolism of spiritituality and the unconcious to convey the beautiful inner journey of the unconcious mind. Her work is akin to the surrealists such as Salvador Dali, Heronimous Bosh, Egon Schiele, and Pablo Picasso; conveying a timeless theme that is both thought provoking and beautiful. Lisa Scollan lives and works in Massachusetts, and exhibits and galleries throughout the united states. Lisa's own words: As I think back on how much I would draw as a child, I realize how important creating art has always been to me.Loss has been and continues to be a central theme in my work. My many drawings as a child often expressed happy moments in my life. My sense now is that these drawings were an attempt to preserve happiness and to protect myself from its loss.My work also is an expression of the struggles I see in life. It portrays the opposing forces of good, evil, purity, negativity, vulnerability, determination, despair, and hope.To fully express the joys in life assumes responsibility. The rose, often depicted in my work as a symbol, gives meaning to my core thoughts on life. Wherever there is beauty or happiness there can also be pain.My work has its roots in symbolism and spirituality. It incorporates the fundamental elements of life: fire, water, earth, and air.My paintings and drawings flow from mind to hand with an unconscious spontaneity. As elements of the painting or drawing reveal themselves to me, I am constantly analyzing the composition for balance, rhythm, and motion.
Through my art I hope that people can identify and confront their own struggles.
