About Pav Spencer Art

I’m an abstract figurative artist based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, creating bold, expressive works that balance playful energy with emotional depth. My practice is intuitive and layered, rooted in storytelling and spontaneity.

Drawing from years of experience as a graphic designer, I embrace colour, shape, and mixed media to build compositions that feel both immediate and considered.My work often centres around the human figure—distorted, exaggerated, or simplified—placed in scenes that suggest a narrative without ever making it explicit. I’m drawn to moments of contrast: stillness and movement, loud colour and negative space, humour and vulnerability.

Whether I’m painting a reclining woman, a chair with a vase, or a fish-wielding figure, I want the work to spark curiosity and joy—inviting people to bring their own stories to what they see.Ultimately, I create art to connect—with myself, with others, and with the strange and beautiful in-between spaces that sit just below the surface of everyday life.

Pav Spencer art it is a joyful celebration of life, the wonderful fun moments that make this human experience a delightful journey. In these times of great burden, we need a reminder of happy things to make ourselves rejoice. Pav paintings have this healing balm. The happy medicine that makes us smile and dance (as she does in the process of creating them).

I would like very much to take my body aside and jump inside any of her works and enjoy the company and activities of her characters. We are very lucky indeed to have Pav Spencer sharing her visions with us.
