Damaris works across many mediums, exploring the corporeal and abstraction of the human form. Process is integral to her work, experimenting with materials to push things through a process. She is interested in the aesthetic of entangled creation and destruction, and takes inspiration from a wide range of sources such as anatomy, microscopic images, derelict buildings and decaying vegetative matter.
Damaris Athene was born in Bristol, UK, in 1992. She studied at Falmouth University for her Foundation Dipolma and graduated with a BA in painting from Camberwell College of Arts in 2015. Damaris is still living in London and has been working full-time as a painting assistant for Damien Hirst since September 2015. Damaris was shortlisted for the Hans Brinker Painting Prize in Amsterdam in 2014 and was selected for the Clyde and Co Art Award in 2015.
