A warm and pink sky reflected in the water below. A moody landscape with plenty of atmosphere.
I’m moulding the landscape, sculpting it with my fingers and leaving enough pigments behind to build hills and valleys as I move over the paper. I’m bulding the shadows with many colours, layering them, one on top of the other to make the darkness richer.
Creating an abstract landscape on paper is much like telling a story through steep cliffs and rushing water. The tale of majestic mountains and friendly slopes are told by dry pigments rubbed into the paper until the whole surface is filled with colourful pigments that‘s creating images of recognisable shapes and places remembered. But its more than that, its a tale of life itself; It’s a soul scape and a reflection on human emotions.
I like to revisit a specific place in my mind, translating the atmosphere it into a lyrical landscape with the use of colour. The abstraction allows me to incorporate the whole experience; incorporating the scent of warm earth, the sound of running water and whispers of wind. The landscape is dissolved and translated it into a colour mood and in this matter given a closeness to the soul.
This artwork is made with soft pastels and has a fine layer of fixative as finishing coat. The framed photos are suggestions only. This artwork has a delicate surface and needs the protection of glass. It ships flat in a box.
