 Originally from the Philippine, Remia Montayre is a natural artist, born with the artistic gifts that she has nurtured and developed. Remia started drawing human faces and form from as early as three years of age. Coming from a family of artists, her father, who was a sculptor encouraged Remia to study architecture. Moving on to Sydney, Australia in 1984, She got married and continued to follow her artistic destiny. |
Her new life in Australia opened her eyes to more artistic influences and here she became interested to learn different techniques. Delving into numerous books, and all the resources available to her, she developed her love for the works of renowned artists such as Caravaggio a famous Italian artist and Elya Repin a famous Russian artist. She began accepting commissions in 1989, and it was during this period when she decided to specialise in portrait painting. Using her eyes as her window to the soul, she captures the feelings and emotions of her subject and paint it on canvas. Requiring at least 4 to 6 photos, she discusses with the subject their particular artistic requirements, taste, and other details about what they want in the painting. |
