The Pregnant Artist (Gravida Pictorem) is an oil-on-canvas Avant Garde new age cubism painting by multi-award winning UK female Artist Denisa Mansfield. A surreal depiction of a heavily pregnant woman with geometric forms. It is the first work to focus on a pregnant woman bowing her head, depicting herself with a floating wooden paintbrush gently placed on the baby pump while comforted and protected by her sculpture like arm and hand. A symbolic expression of the struggles, hope and joy of pregnancy, a mystery of a journey to motherhood. Completed in warm contrasting colours with vibrant deep earth tones, soft and tense brush strokes to intensify the effect of impasto impressionism with elements of abstract art.
 
Cubist Impressionism is a bold and innovative art movement invented by Denisa Mansfield, that harmonizes the fluid brushwork and atmospheric depth of Impressionism with the structured, fragmented aesthetics of Cubism. This new age style explores dynamic perspectives by integrating Impressionist techniques such as expressive brush strokes and impasto textures with the geometric abstraction pioneered by Mansfield, inspired by artists like Picasso, Juan Gris, and Ismael Nery. Melding the emotive qualities of Impressionism with the intellectual rigor of Cubism, Cubist Impressionism reimagines form, light, and colour as interwoven layers of meaning. This new art form offers a fresh lens through which viewers can experience the interplay of reality and abstraction, creating a deeply resonant and visually arresting narrative in every piece.
