The Unscripted Style Collection

This collection of stylised portraits by Susannah Katie draws inspiration from vintage comics, illustrated annuals, and iconic figures of fashion and culture. Each painting captures a distinct sense of character and identity through simplified forms, graphic lines, and layered mixed-media textures.

Blending bold colour with painterly marks and collage-inspired surfaces, the works echo the visual language of vintage print while embracing a contemporary artistic voice. Subtle layering and distressed finishes introduce a sense of history, adding depth and nostalgia to each composition.

Balancing elegance with playfulness, this collection celebrates self-expression and individuality, where stylised figures emerge as both familiar and reimagined — bridging the past and present through art, fashion, and narrative.

Collage art with a central figure and various smaller images and blocks.

Blüme Art – Stylised Portrait Painting

This collection of stylised portraits explores character and identity through a graphic, design-led approach. Influenced by vintage illustration and mid-century visual culture, each piece is built using simplified forms, bold outlines, and layered surfaces that give depth and presence to every figure.

Drawing on themes of individuality and expression, the works balance refinement with a sense of play, using colour and composition to create a strong visual impact. Mixed media techniques introduce texture and variation, echoing the feel of printed and hand-finished artwork.

The result is a collection that feels expressive and confident — where portraiture is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, blending fashion influence, visual storytelling, and artistic abstraction into one cohesive body of work.
