Mia Darling's plasticine paintings are created by using her hands as the paintbrush and perspex or glass as the canvas. The works are colourful and painterly explorations into beauty, childhood and body image. Darling is most excited by the fantastical, the girly and the romantic, and fascinated by all things pink. 

Darling's works often revolve around female nudes, drawing from Western canons and then doing away with the rules and restrictions of the past through the medium of plasticine.
