Ada Phoenix (b. 1998, Scotland) is a multidisciplinary artist based in London. A graduate of Central Saint Martins (2022), her work explores the fluid boundaries of time, space, and transformation. Through a distinctive visual language, Ada blends abstraction with narrative, drawing from overlooked objects, fleeting moments, and half-remembered stories.

Primarily working in black and white, her paintings embrace ambiguity and resist fixed meaning. At the core of her practice is metamorphosis—not just as a theme but as a process. Each work becomes a conversation between form and feeling, shaped by instinct, memory, and mood.

Ada’s imagined world is cinematic and atmospheric—akin to a smoky jazz bar in 1974, steeped in noir and emotional tension. This tone permeates her paintings, where light and shadow act as psychological states as much as visual elements.

The human figure often appears not as a literal subject but as a vessel—abstracted, fragmented, or dissolving—through which inner worlds emerge. Ada prioritizes sensation over representation, exploring how a shape feels rather than what it shows.

Her online gallery, also named Ada Phoenix, is a living archive of recent works, process notes, and reflections—a space for curiosity, transformation, and quiet disorientation.
