Original artwork description:

Title: My Heart is the Colour of Spring Grass

A fantasy of new life emerges in this symphony of pinks, lilacs, blues and greens. Whimsical trees echo the colours of the flowers that sway in the foreground.

I channeled the vibrancy of spring and the essence of renewal into this piece using lively acrylic brushstrokes. The fusion of fauvism and impressionism allows for a magical dance of color, capturing the spirited bloom of life. It's a celebration of growth, meant to energize and inspire any space with the promise of new beginnings.

This beautiful work of art is painted around the sides in a gorgeous spring green to complement the painting. It arrives ready to hang.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT –ESSENCE OF LANDSCAPE

My childhood summers were filled with weekend explorations of the countryside. These early road trips, rich with images, fed my internal visual archive. Viewed from the car window, an ever-changing vista rolled before my eyes.

Walks through woods immersed me in dark shadows where rays of glinting light pushed their way between boughs, dappling the forest floor, luminous and redolent of earth.

In this landscape series, I’ve painted scenes inspired by both the countryside and the city’s verdant backyards, all filtered through imagination and an emotional response translated into lively brushstrokes and an abundance of colour.
Impasto strokes of acrylic are laid upon watercolour like underglazes and the charcoal marks of the initial drawing are sometimes revealed.
The paintings depict the energetic essence of landscape and capture the passion for the natural world that I was introduced to as a child, that held a kind of magic and an ethereal quality that still resonate strongly within me.
