Portrait of Bel by Zoe Kamarinos in Melbourne
Portrait of Bel
'Portrait of Bel' explores queer identity and acceptance, challenging restrictive norms around individuality. Using oil paint, scrap materials, and embroidery on unstretched canvas, the work depicts entangled bodies of the artist and friends amid vibrant colours. Fabric and thread are used as emotive materials to evoke the comfort and the warmth of friendships, a recurring theme in the artist's practice.

Melbourne, AustraliaZoe is a Greek Australian artist whose practice explores transformation, intimacy, and identity through painting. Drawing inspiration from classical and contemporary narratives, her work reflects a deep interest in how relationships shape selfhood and how queer experiences of connection and belonging can be represented through paint. Zoe predominantly employs highly saturated hues in her pieces, commonly using the colour red to symbolise her connection and ties with those around her.
