About Petra Meikle de Vlas

Thank you for your interest in my work. I am a 3D, Mixed Media, realism to abstract artist. My FINE ART( 3 dimensional sculpture paintings) Inspired by the natural world, this Fine art collection is a combination of many materials and Mediums. The works are predominately 3 dimensional, mostly created using recycled materials ranging from cardboard, electrical wire, newspaper, wool, fabrics, plaster, clay and oil and acrylic paint. Oil paint is my main painting medium, but I am always experimenting with different mediums to achieve that perfect effect, striving for a strong, secure and tidy finish. MY ABSTRACT -THE COLOURSCAPE COLLECTION- A touch of Impressionism and Abstract. The Colourscape collection represents the effects of reactions between mixed mediums. The power of the chemistry between these pigments carried by different mediums, attracting or repelling each other sometimes results in beautiful formations.Before being sealed, a single painting could have had multiple layers of work on it, ranging from the original pour, to sanding back looking for patterns under dried paint, rubbing in ink or more paint to stain or add colour, and in general working on and enhancing areas where possible. These Formations are then preserved by a coating of a premium quality finish (resin, satin or matte Varnish) on a ready-to-hang, multi-directional board. Like to see more details like side views, close up photos and or video of any of my artwork displayed on this site? Just send me a request and we will send through more details. If you would like something made up more to suit your colour/size/ mood etc, I can do something for you, your version as a commission, just get in touch and we can work together on it. SHIPPING- Many of my 3 dimensional paintings have been shipped Nationally and Internationally, and have all arrived at their forever homes safe and sound. We take great care in a tight secure pack, in a custom made wooden create. https://petrameikledevlas.com/ Follow my work…..
