Artist Bio

Yvette Vexta is a self-taught artist from Sydney, Australia based in New York.

She is recognized as one of the leading female artists in the street and contemporary urban art scene, as well as being one of the first women street artists in what was once a very male-dominated field.

Exploring the personal within universal mythopoetic archetypes, her work often enmeshes figurative forms amid her symbolic, geometric shapes with floral, fungi and coral patterns on the macro and micro level. Drawing on her studies into mythology, psychology, science & consciousness, she creates art seen through her unique psychedelic lens, whilst keeping her feet firmly rooted in a deep ecology & feminine perspective.

In recent years, her practice has expanded from murals and paintings to include augmented reality, digital art, sculpture, soundscapes, and immersive events. She collaborates with a diverse range of clients such as Converse, Lollapalooza & Governors Ball Music Festival, Art With Me Festival, Fabergé, Urban Decay, Sportsgirl, Free People, Juxtapoz Magazine & Samsung. 

Artist's Description of the artwork

In mythology, Barn Owls are associated with wisdom, intuition, and spiritual guidance. As creatures of the night they rule the world of our subconscious and dreams. My Interstellar Noctua (Latin for Owl) arrives on the dust between the darkness of outer space to offer the knowledge of nature in their wings. This knowledge is represented by the fungi, flora, and fauna fanning beneath the starlit feathers. The mural is marked by constellations representing the time of the creation of the piece - Aries season, Virgo Moon & Orion for Vexta's travel from winter of the Northern Hemisphere to the south
