| Illustrator / Painter With a hint of black humor, Beryl explores the connections between body, sex and life through the female perspective. Her use of bright and bold colors punctuate what is seemingly flat, while adding a layer of richness on top of textural strokes. Broadening her range of creative expression, Beryl also explores alternate mediums as a means to communicate her stories further. |

Before going abroad, I practiced some Spanish and discovered that Spanish has what’s called grammatical gender — nouns are classified as either feminine or masculine. For example, in this painting, “telephone” is a masculine noun. Many Indo-European languages, such as French, Italian, and German, share this feature. Some linguists believe that grammatical gender in ancient times may have been related to how people categorized the world, reflecting a certain worldview and way of classifying nature.I found this quite fascinating. Looking at this ancient worldview through the lens of modern social values, it doesn’t always make sense, and it also brings to mind the ongoing debate: what is considered feminine, and what is considered masculine? As I pondered this, I started creating some new works inspired by these thoughts.
Of course, from the perspective of many viewers, my paintings might seem more “feminine.” However, I still look forward to creating works that express a stronger “masculine” atmosphere and content in the future.
