The Interview: Emma Sampil
A renowned Artist
Rachna Singh, Editor, The Wise Owl talks to Emma Sampil an artist who draws her inspiration from travel and from the very heart of the performing arts, revealing her passion for dance and music. Through a synthesis of unexpected colors, with strokes emphasized by a knife, she explores deliberately refined forms, material effects and the paradox of transparency.

I would like to find my own language in it,” says Emma.
