Emma Parkinson

Artist

Emma Parkinson (b,1983. SE), also known as one half of Studio Moubou, is a multidisciplinary artist mostly known for her surreal, obscure and dreamy imagery.

Driven and inspired by generative materials and methods, Emma found, what felt like a long lost creative partner in AI when it took off. "I love things that you never have full control over, materials and technologies that take on their life, it gives a true wild and natural element to the very artificial nature of the work.", she says.

Emma uses generative AI image generators in a unique way to, as she puts it; “Dig deep into the weird unlimited collective mind of AI. AI has no filter in the way that humans do, it doesn’t have our overanalyzing, fearful and critical eye, and that is what makes it so freeing to work with. It’s a liberation process.”

Rather than using text prompting, she uses a blending technique of using the range of her entire portfolio and takes it to it’s limits creating unique imagery ruled by images rather than text.

With a life long career in advertising, fine art, set and interior design, she has developed a unique artistic style based on the space, and the body as well as objects within the space.

Emma's artwork depicts connection and disconnection to the body and space by featuring outsiders, ghosts, monsters anthropomorphised animals and objects in various spaces.

The interest for the body and objects within a space is autobiographical and stems from being a neurodivergent woman in a world that demands “fitting in and being pleasing”.

Continuously evolving, Emma is dedicated to pushing artistic boundaries and exploring new creative frontiers.

Emma's work is available through NFT platforms as well as Studio Moubous website.
