Filippa Whitmore – Artist Biography

Filippa Whitmore is an Italian artist whose creative journey has spanned multiple disciplines, evolving from traditional craftsmanship to contemporary abstraction. Her career began in ceramics, where she trained at the prestigious Royal Worcester Porcelain Company, specializing in ornamental ware. This experience instilled in her a deep appreciation for precision, texture, and surface decoration—elements that continue to influence her artistic practice today.

After honing her skills in ceramics, Filippa transitioned into illustration and publishing, where she further developed her eye for composition and detail. This period allowed her to experiment with different artistic styles, expanding her visual language beyond the applied arts and into the realm of fine art.

In recent years, her artistic focus has shifted towards abstract geometric compositions, where she fully embraces her love of colour, shape, and form. Her work is characterized by a dynamic interplay of structured patterns and organic movement, exploring the tension between order and spontaneity. The use of texture is an integral part of her process, adding depth and dimension to her compositions. Through her art, Filippa seeks to evoke a sense of harmony, rhythm, and energy, inviting viewers to engage with the emotions and sensations embedded within each piece.

Filippa has exhibited at The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and The Royal Society of Miniature Painters, both highly respected institutions that recognize excellence in contemporary painting. Her ability to translate intricate details into striking, large-scale abstractions demonstrates her versatility as an artist.
