Shamara Forde (b. 1997) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Barbados and is now based in the Manchester, United Kingdom. Forde attended the Barbados Community College where she had completed her associate's degree in visual arts in 2020, the Manchester School of Art where she attained her Bachelor’s (Hons) in Fine Art (2023) and is currently pursuing her Master's in Fine Art.
Her work is embedded in identity, memory, and the body. Her current artworks bring together the past and present in ways that influences her conceptual practice. Particularly, her mix-media paintings give her a sense of reminiscence of things once experienced. Her work is diverse as she tends to use mediums such as oil, acrylics, digital paintings and more. Her work relates to the concept of the human form which involves memories, or aspects of a person that highlights beauty. This intertwines with the fabric on her artworks, and figurative compositions that allows viewers to create their own narratives.
