From Winery Roots to Bold Brushstrokes: The Colourful Journey of Margo Coufos

My first blog site for MargoCoufosArt may seem a little unusual, but it’s a small insight into where I come from and why and how I got involved with the wonderful world of art. Coming from a Croatian-English family background and living on a 3rd generation family winery throughout my childhood, there was colour all around me. Everything I saw and did was colourful – as a 16-year-old I designed my dresses, and they had to be in colourful material. I also designed jewellery, and they were also colourful and out there. I’ve recycled furniture and sold it through a website, and those items had to have a touch of colour as well!

During some of these adventures, I studied art in oils and these classes gave me the confidence to start expressing my ideas on how I wanted to progress with my art. As mentioned in my profile, in 2009 the penny dropped, and my motivation and confidence pushed me to exhibit my artworks, which proved a great success!

My partner and I now share a beach front property with great ocean views and surroundings. The scenery, combined with the different skies, is just amazing, producing colour mixes and views that you couldn’t imagine to be true. Seeing those colours and painterly views is another inspiration for my exploration of different colour combinations.

My art is usually very bold in terms of colour and design. However, I ‘ve undertaken several commissions, and some clients have requested more neutral art. I’ve enjoyed creating these works, and the clients have been exceptionally happy with the results. This has shown me that I can be very flexible, which is why I like to say that I’m an eclectic artist – ‘doing what I want and seeing where it takes me’.

I hope you enjoy your visit to my site, and I’m happy to take any comments from you. Now I have to ‘get painting’, as my recent July exhibition was so successful that I need to create some more colourful art for my white walls in my home and studio………..so bye for now.
