Alton is a portrait of a young Jamaican man whom Joanna Pilarczyk met in her North London neighbourhood. The artist draws inspiration from the people around her, portraying both those close to her and individuals she encounters in everyday life. Each meeting offers an opportunity to discover a new personality, a different perspective and a story worth capturing.

Pilarczyk is fascinated by the synchronicity of everyday encounters — those unexpected moments when people and opportunities come together, often when least anticipated. She seeks to preserve these fleeting experiences through painting, capturing the individuality, warmth and positive energy of the people who cross her path.

Through her expressive use of colour, painterly textures and contemporary figurative style, Pilarczyk celebrates the diversity of her local community and the beauty of human connection. Her portraits are not simply representations of physical appearance, but personal interpretations of the character, spirit and inspiring qualities she recognises in others.
