The Ritual of Colour

Davina Shefet’s paintings move between figuration and abstraction, weaving memory, ritual, and emotion into vivid, tactile worlds. Her female figures — often self-portraits — transcend the personal to enter a symbolic space where intimacy meets myth. Dogs, monkeys, and birds appear as silent witnesses, part of a long artistic lineage where animals carry beauty, humour, and mystery.

Her process draws from both folk traditions and twentieth-century painting, layering gesture and colour until surfaces feel alive — fragile yet exuberant, lyrical yet strange. In her work, colour is never decorative: it vibrates with meaning, echo, and emotional charge.

The Bonbon Studio extends this universe into everyday life. It gathers selected works as open-edition prints and collectible pieces — small rituals of colour and tenderness meant to bring art into living spaces. Each print carries the same energy as her paintings: the joy of beauty made by hand, the poetry of detail, and the invitation to live surrounded by imagination.

To collect from The Bonbon Studio is to take part in that world — to bring a fragment of its warmth, humour, and emotion into your own.
