Tiffany Burnette-Biscombe
Acrylic on canvas
"The Hanging Heliconia painting is acrylic on canvas and is from my signature style work which I call Abstracted Realism, where I use nature or the environment around me to fragment my inspirations down into the end results. The shapes and marks are final. So each decision and colour is carefully thought out before being applied onto each canvas."
Trafalgar Falls
Acrylic on canvas
"[It's]…of Trafalgar Falls, where I decided to take my personal language style and apply it to one of our national landmarks, Trafalagar Falls, and see if it could have a similar effect with Mother Nature as it has with the architectural artwork. Here (in the painting) I am trying to see if I can get the impression of moving water and solidity of the rocks without having to be too descriptive, with the use of simplified colours and shapes, to give you a new dimension and experience of the waterfall itself."
Ápres Bondie C'est La Mer
Acrylic on canvas
"Ápres Bondie C'est La Mer is literally a translation of After God is the Sea; after the world was created and water was the next thing and life came up through the water. The last part of the painting says it is the creation of the world, this part of the painting was deliberating done in a subtle way for the viewer to suddenly come across it as time goes on and they spend time looking at the painting. It's not meant for you to see first hand. It then says in French it is the creation of the world."

Tiffany Burnette-Biscombe has always been interested in art, drawing and painting. At age 12 she left to further her education in Englad. Tiffany then took two years off to return to Dominica to gain some life experience and took part in several local art exhibitions, winning the Independence Art Competition in the drawing category two years in a row. Tiffany holds a BTEC diploma in foundation studies from Chelsea College of Art and Design of the London Institute, England. She also has a Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA Hons.) Fine Art Painting from the City and Guilds of London Art School where she developed her personal style for abstracted architectural work, exploring the breaking down of recognisable surroundings and exploring them with vibrant colours. Her work ranges from photography, still life, portraits and landscapes [to] her personal language work. She has worked alongside London artist Nahem Shoa, to study direct observational work based on negative shape, space and tone. Tiffany is now based in Dominica to focus on direct observational work through portraits and landscape.
