Rose Mamakos’ work embodies the profound intersection of intuition, emotional truth, and material experimentation. As a self-taught artist whose practice is rooted in lived experience, she transforms the full range of human emotion into fluid acrylic compositions shaped not by brushes but with gravity, motion, and the unpredictable physics of liquid paint. Each piece becomes an unrepeatable record of feeling—part meditation, part release—reflecting the creative coping tools she developed in childhood and the ongoing role art plays in healing and restoring balance. Through her continual experimentation and reflective engagement, including her participation in Juniper Rag’s Artists Touched by Addiction, Mamakos reveals how art can serve as both a powerful therapeutic force and a conduit for connection, inviting viewers not only to see her work but to feel it.

Ireland Days has such verdant and electric colors, a piece that just brings thoughts of green spaces when you view. it. We can see this hanging in that special place, near the bar when you are pouring a perfect Guinness or any place in your home that you would like to add a strong hit of draíocht, Rose has captured the green abstract expanse of fields and flowers in this one.

A painting has the power to transport you, to anchor memory and imagination in a single moment. Through its colors, textures, and light, it can evoke the rolling green hills, misty coastlines, and quiet villages of Ireland, allowing you to return there again and again—without leaving home. Each brushstroke becomes a portal, a sensory echo of place, and a reminder that the landscapes we love can live with us, vividly, through art.

ROSE MAMAKOS | KINGSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

As an entirely self-taught artist living on the south coast of Massachusetts, Rose Mamakos’ practice emerges from the authority of lived experience. Rose works intuitively, entering each piece without a predetermined destination, allowing emotion to guide the evolution of form. Emotions—the full spectrum of human complexity become catalysts in her process, resulting in paintings that operate as visceral records of life. Every piece holds a fragment of her story—a continuation of the creative coping practices she developed as a child and a testament to her belief in artmaking as a powerful therapeutic tool for people of all ages.

Rose’s current body of work is created with fluid acrylics, manipulated entirely without brushes. She relies on blow dryers, palette knives, catalyst wedges, and the unpredictable physics of liquid paint to shape each composition. Gravity, viscosity, density, and chemistry collaborate with her hand, ensuring that no two pieces can ever be replicated. The work becomes a negotiation between control and surrender, intention and natural force.

Rose’s commitment to experimentation fuels a continual search for an authentic and evolving visual language. Her hope, always, is that viewers not only see her work but feel it.

I am constantly experimenting trying to find my own voice. Recently I worked on a very special project curated by Juniper Rag “Artists Touched by Addiction” which has given me much time for reflection on my past and made me realize that it has guided me to a strange path of artistic exploration of which I am thankful. My hope is that my art makes you feel.
