Emma Steinkraus creates colorful, figurative paintings that blend surface precision with playful, strange, and exuberant imagery. Her process is anchored in visual research, weaving together wide-ranging art historical references with a contemporary sensibility. In this series, she reinterprets scenes from Ovid's "Metamorphoses", using them to explore themes of femininity, transformation, and the porous boundary between humans and other species.
