Courtenay Kusitor

Bio

Courtenay Kusitor is a London-based abstract artist creating intuitive, expressionist paintings rooted in consciousness. The work is led by senses rather than process, using bold colour, movement, and layered mark-making to capture moments of awareness and stillness.

Courtenay Kusitor’s collections include original paintings and limited edition prints, alongside bespoke commissions created in response to specific spaces and intentions. Created to sit naturally within contemporary galleries, museums and interiors, the paintings offer both visual impact and emotional depth.

Statement

London-based abstract artist Courtenay Kusitor creates bold, intuitive paintings that map the terrain of human consciousness and invites the viewer into a space of awareness, perception and presence. Trained in Visual Communication at the University for the Creative Arts (UK), Courtenay brings to her practice a hybrid language of impressionist sensation and expressionist gesture, rich in vibrant colour and spontaneous mark-making.

In 2013, a life-altering head and spinal trauma shifted her sense of life and time and ignited a lifelong fascination with the nature of consciousness and being. That experience underpins her ever evolving visual enquiry: how unconscious states, conscious moments of presence and patterns of thought can be made visible. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience and spirituality, her work becomes an intuitive dialogue in questions of perception and of what it means to live fully, here and now.
