Morphing

Stormyhead is an Australian/Sicilian artist who lives with chronic pain and complex PTSD. Expressing themselves through art since they were very young, Stormyhead’s style has changed a lot over the years, but always returns to high-contrast drawings with black pencil on textured paper.

Still life studies tend to ground me during turbulent times, when I need a break from creating emotionally intense artworks. There’s something calming about focusing on simple, everyday objects - their shapes, colours, and textures - that helps me slow down and find balance. I know how important it is to take that pause, yet slowing down can also be one of the hardest things for me to do.
