Maggi Hambling – 'Every portrait is like a love story'

Maggi Hambling is a British painter and sculptor known for her intricate portraits and seascapes.

The artist uses her creative practice as a mourning tool to cope with the loss of her loved ones such as Henrietta Moraes, her mother and father. We visited the Suffolk-born artist in her home studio as she is now working on a series of laughing portraits.
