Acrylic on canvas.
60x30"
This semi abstracted piece is meant to convey the power of the coming night. The blazing sunsetting behind bare trees are offset by the lone evergreens standing guard in the forefront. The evening mist slowly surrounds them to give a sense of warm (sunset) and cool (mist).

Art has always been a part of my life. Whenever I walk into any room, anywhere, the first thing that I see is the artwork (or lack thereof) on the walls.
It is a passion that happily consumes me throughout the day. I constantly strive to learn new techniques that I can apply to my art. I have a reverence for colour, mood and contrast.
I live in Ottawa with my husband. Empty nesters. I have time. Thankfully I can devote much of that time to my art.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
For abstract artist Soraya Silvestri, nature provides the inspiration for her art and practice. If you look closely, each painting hints at a cloudy sky, a storm breaking, a mountain peak, or the cosmos. The abundance of emotion and energy in nature are echoed in her artwork.
Soraya looks to nature to find colour, pattern, and composition that she then translates to canvas in a unique and delicate way. Influenced by fearless masters of colour such as Jonas Gerard and Michael Lang, Soraya strives to create interplay of light and dark hues, experimenting with colour, form, and shadow. Smooth textures and blended colour are key elements of Soraya’s work.
Much like the masters, Soraya looks to nature to supply mood and evoke a sense of wonder and awe. The use of chiaroscuro (contrast of light and dark) is a key tool in creating this sense of grandeur and majesty.
