Amica is an artist whose paintings transcend the every day and channel the eternal. Translating the energy of chaos into calm, she embraces transience and imperfection to create a sensation of natural simplicity and beauty. She works intuitively using air and gravity over many hours at a time, preferring fluid media like ink and flowing pigments. Whincop harnesses the Japanese concept of 'Ma', meaning the space between, paring her work to its simplest form without losing its poetry. The elimination of distracting or unnecessary areas is one of the most important aspects of her creative process, capturing vibrant colour forms with understated elegance.
Based in Queensland, Australia, Whincop's work has been profiled on Grand Designs, The Block, Country Living, Art Edit and Home Design, and features in several public collections, including The Star Casino and The Crown Towers, Sydney.
