The VESTIGES
Collection.
Missy Sunseri creates original contemporary paintings and mixed-media works exploring identity, memory, transformation, surface and ornament. Layered material and hand-worked detail allow portraiture, pattern and traces of process to coexist within the finished work.
This collection explores identity, memory, and transformation through layered portraiture. Acrylic, 24K gold leaf, vintage lace, hand-stenciled pigment, and mixed-media applications build surfaces that feel simultaneously aged and contemporary. Faces emerge, disappear, and reappear beneath ornament and texture.
Each work extends beyond the painted surface into its frame. Conceived, created, and hand-finished by the artist, the ornate frame is an integral part of the composition, not simply its boundary. Painting and frame exist as a single work of art.
