Using wry humour to celebrate the mundanities of life, Daina Sgarioto reminds us to not take life too seriously. While her works employ bright colours, comical characters and satirical text, they are often inspired by painful experiences. Sgarioto recently graduated from Melbourne’s RMIT with a Bachelor of Fine Art.
