About

beantart is a Canadian figurative artist working at the intersection of traditional art and machine-assisted processes, exploring identity, memory, and transformation through painterly images that move between physical and digital space. She completed formal studies in fine art and maintains a studio practice rooted in observational drawing and painting.

Her work inhabits the moment the self becomes aware that it is no longer what it was: when something has already shifted but has not yet resolved into a new form. The compositions unfold between lived reality and psychological landscape, often depicting figures at points of transition where the boundaries between body and environment begin to dissipate.

Figures emerge through erasure and reconstruction. Earlier states remain visible beneath the surface as forms are built, obscured, and rebuilt. Layered brushwork, shifting temperatures, and ambiguity of form mirror the instability of memory itself, where identity is continually revised rather than fixed.

Central to the work is what begins to give way during this process: how the body softens, opens, or dissolves as one version of the self yields to another. The resulting images occupy a threshold where the past remains perceptible but cannot be returned to, and the future has not yet taken shape. Transformation is not depicted as an event or destination, but as an ongoing condition. The work is held in suspension, just after rupture and before resolution.
