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.
