Roma Finlinson is a London-based painter whose work vibrates at the intersection of molecular chaos and layered memory. Born in Trinidad, her practice is fundamentally shaped by the resonant duality of her roots: the lush, rhythmic biodiversity of the Caribbean colliding with the sharp, metallic geometry of the urban landscape.

Finlinson’s studio operates more as a laboratory than a traditional artistic space. Through a dedicated, almost alchemical process, she coaxes unpredictable reactions from pigments, resins, and mixed media. This experimental method allows her to explore profound themes—ecological legacy, mental health, cultural dislocation, and personal memory—not through direct representation, but through the visceral language of abstract form, textured surface, and resonant color. Her canvases become fields of tension and transformation, capturing both eruption and calm.

Her journey to a full-time practice was a pivotal personal evolution, crystallized in a breakthrough piece titled Self Possessed. This work marked the moment her technical experimentation coalesced into a distinct and confident artistic voice. Influenced by the emotional rawness of Frida Kahlo and the painterly control of artists like Nancy Wood, Finlinson’s work embraces vulnerability as a catalyst for innovation.

Finlinson’s paintings have been featured in select exhibitions. She lives and works in London, where she continuously forges new visual syntax from the friction between natural forces and constructed realities.
