    Paintings of Failure | EP 3

    In this episode of Breezy for Creatives, Cameron and Cró welcome Warrington-based painter Marco Frezza, whose work blurs the line between order and chaos. Marco reflects on how design thinking collides with abstraction — and why his paintings embrace failure as a way of confronting uncertainty, duality, and the impossibility of resolution. This candid conversation dives into juggling creativity with family life, the changing cultural landscape from the 90s to now, and why abstraction is both an experience and an exercise in failure. Marco also reflects on the role of supportive relationships, how he keeps art alive amidst life’s demands, and the deeper philosophical questions that fuel his practice. 🔗 Links🌐 📸 Marco's Instagram: instagram.com/marco.frezza.art 🌐 Podcast Website: ⁠breezyforcreatives.com⁠ 📸 Podcast Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/breezyforcreatives⁠ 🎙️ Host Cameron Laird: ⁠instagram.com/camthelemon⁠ 📷 Host Crónán Creagh: ⁠instagram.com/cronancreagh⁠ Music by Overwrite ⁠instagram.com/overwritemusic Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro and welcome to Marco Frezza 00:48 – From graphic design to UX consulting and abstractionist painting 01:42 – Art vs design: chaos, questions, and problem-solving 02:47 – How psychology informs Marco’s practice 03:59 – Juggling design “side hustle” with art-making 04:58 – Studio life in Warrington and taking a creative reset 06:58 – Shifts in the cultural landscape: 90s to now 09:58 – Algorithms, streaming, and the decline of indie scenes 10:58 – Family background and keeping art alive 11:58 – Juggling work, family, and creative practice 13:00 – The role of supportive partners in sustaining creativity 14:57 – Intentions behind Marco’s current body of work 15:53 – Paintings as “paintings of failure” — searching for meaning and embracing collapse 17:57 – Closing reflections and gratitude

    Step into the thought-provoking world of Manchester-based performance artist and painter Evita Ziemele. In this episode of Breezy for Creatives, hosts Cameron and Crónán sit down with Evita to delve into her practice, which is rooted in wearable sculpture that distorts the body and explores the mythologies and misogynies of female existence. This candid conversation delves into how Evita utilises her art to challenge stereotypes surrounding the female body and sexualisation, her experience of turning backlash into positive growth, the importance of collaboration in her creative process, and how she navigates the constant drive to create.
