Original artwork description:

In Giants over the Lake, Virtosu captures the grandeur and mystique of the natural world through a new medium—Heavy Texture Acrylics by Gaffrey. Known for their extraordinary thickness and ability to create stunning texture, these acrylics bring a striking, almost sculptural quality to the work. The result is a powerful portrayal of towering peaks and sweeping hills that seem to come alive with energy and texture, inviting you to experience the landscape as if you were standing within it.

While the size and composition remain nearly identical to earlier oil works, the switch to acrylics has allowed Virtosu to explore new dimensions in texture. The artist begins with a rich spray-painted backdrop, setting the tone with deep atmospheric hues that evoke the vastness of the wilderness. Then, he layers on the Heavy Texture acrylics—thick, luscious, and applied directly from the tube—building the mountains with a tangible, almost sculptural presence. The thick, bold strokes pulse with life, transforming the canvas into a dynamic, textured surface that beckons the viewer to explore its depth and substance.

In Giants over the Lake, the natural world is not merely depicted—it’s brought to life in vibrant layers of paint. The jagged edges of the mountains, the sweeping curves of the hills, and the deep, shadowed valleys seem to move and shift before your eyes. The acrylics allow Virtosu to sculpt the mountains in ways that give them a palpable, three-dimensional quality. The texture itself is part of the landscape—lush, alive, and full of dramatic energy. As you move closer, the surface shifts with each glance, inviting a tactile exploration of the work.
