Acrylic mixed media on canvas.

36x30x1.50"

In this painting, I've used acrylics with collage, gilding, and cotton to create an abstract landscape that combines the earthy with the ethereal. Every stroke and texture is a dance of emotions, carrying whispers of serene horizons and the gentle embrace of nature's contrasts. This piece is a meditative haven, offering a tranquil energy that enriches your space with its presence."Limelight is an abstract mixed media composition based on an imagined seascape. This painting features unusual textures and reflections to develop a 3-D effect that evokes organic energy, flow, and movement. I invite the viewer to touch the work!. In this piece I have integrated natural and man-made repurposed materials including textiles, metallic inks, copper patinas and paper, each layer of colour and medium allowing to experience the painting – perhaps sparking memories, perhaps freeing your mind to wander, imagine and dream.
To emulate the play of light I use metallic paints and inks and I use mixed media to emulate the ripples and waves in the water and in some cases, just a little bit of sand, these pieces exude the natural and soulful energy that oceans, rivers and lakes have brought me since birth.
My process starts by finding something that moves me in nature that is rugged and imperfect, like rock outcrops, patinas or the reflection of light on water, inspirations that I want to convey on canvas in an abstract way, inviting the viewer to touch them.
Texture and light are two key elements in my work, as I aim to blur the line between painting and sculpture, inviting touch. The textured layers, are mainly created using a palette knife, laying them down thick and thin, scraping them, allowing some parts to come through. I also use multiple thin veils/layers of colour which are overlapped to create colour-fields and luminosity. It is the combination of the overlaying process that creates a highly textured and luminous final image. To achieve the patina, look in my paintings I use metallic paint and metal foils to achieve more luminosity.
