ABOUT ME

Priya Stamp (2002), is a modern artist whose current body of work highlights the feminine form. Currently, she is pursuing a Fine Arts degree at the University for the Creative Arts. Priya was born and raised in London, England, where she showed an early interest in and love for art. 

​

Priya's work focuses on themes of body confidence and acceptance, with the goal of desexualizing the nude in art. The way the naked body has been portrayed in society and via art has always captivated her interest, and it has been a key motif in her work. Empowerment and the beauty of the human body in all of its varieties are at the heart of her project.

Her work primarily consists of painting, collage, and drawing at the moment from memory, imagination, photographs, and historic paintings that depict the naked body being embraced. She removes her subjects from the setting of a space, releasing them somehow as part of her ongoing exploration of ways to undermine the male gaze.

​

"My work explores the concepts of beauty and ugliness and the traditions that shape our perceptions of either. I'm fascinated by how we view things and how we interpret them. Unrealistic beliefs and 'beauty' standards are all around us, programming us to feel unhappy and insufficient. This deception is both harmful and destructive. I'd like to break this myth and show you your true beauty, which isn't enhanced by makeup or filters."
