About The Artwork

According to Greek Mythology, Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and the queen of the underworld. She was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, infuriating her mother who made the crops wither and the earth barren. Zeus intervened and tried to bring Persephone back to the world of the living; however, Persephone ate the seeds of a pomegranate that Hades had given to her, binding her to him for one third of the year. Thus, it was decided that Persephone spend four months in the underworld and eight months on earth with her mother. The period in the underworld corresponded to the winter season, during which Demeter would make the soils barren due to her grief, while her return marked the start of the spring. I read about Persephone when I was quite young and the story horrified me – particularly the part where she has to live underground for most of the year. Her story returned to me as I was painting this piece and while I know it was pomegranates seeds she ate, whenever I want to talk about persimmons Persephone is the only word which comes to me and I am forced to relive that horror I felt way back then!

Trisha Lambi is an award-winning artist known for her bold and sensuous yet haunting oil paintings. Of her work she says 'Light and its effect on form is my inspiration and whilst I don't aspire to convey a conscious emotion in my work it seems to emerge of its own will.' She has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. Highlights of her career include her selection to represent Australia at the 2006 and 2007 Guangzhou Art Fair in China and her selection as a finalist in the 2012 Art Taipei International Competition. She was a Zone winner in the London Olympics 2012 Art Show and was selected as one of the Best Picks for Painting in the 2013 Dubai International Emerging Artist Award. Among her more recent achievements was her selection to exhibit in Underbelly, a group show curated by Dab Art at H Gallery in Ventura California, her selection as a finalist in the 2017 Hornsby Art Prize and her selection as a semi-finalist in the 2018 Artbox Project New York. In late 2018 she completed her first Artist Residency which involved painting a mural in the streets of Lakkos, the historic old town of Heraklion, Crete. 2019 saw three of her artworks featured in the Australian TV series The Block and another artist residency – this time in the beautiful French village of Fontaine-Daniel. In 2020 she a finalist in the Wyndham Art Prize as well as being accepted into the International Guild of Realism. More recently she received a Merit Award in the Camelback Gallery’s International Juried ‘’Shades of Red” Visual Arts Competition and placed 6th in the global American Art Awards. She was a finalist in both the juried 2021 and 2022 International Guild of Realism's Spring and Fall Salon Online Exhibitions and was selected to exhibit in Janet Rady Fine Art’s international exhibition ‘Making A Splash’. In 2022 she was the Artist in Residence during the International Women’s Day Corporate Art Exhibition in Brisbane as well as during the Condamine Country Art and Open Studio Trail in Warwick. She spent a year from June 2021 to June 2022 working on a series of paintings documenting the Gold Rush in Charters Towers which were then converted into a mosaic mural covering the external walls of a shopping centre 80m long and 7 metres high and commissioned by Goldtower Central.
