"The melting in the paint that you see allows me to invent and direct as I go along. The painting is a stage but it’s also working like it has no script. The story is made up impromptu with no idea of how it will end. The women in the paintings are reinventions of historical portraits. I like to paint them as more vibrant characters, braver more colourful and alive." — Genieve Figgis
