ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Titled "Tuscan Landscape," this artwork's inspiration from Renaissance backgrounds adds a historic depth to its contemporary abstract form. The dual sheets of Fabriano paper echo the diptych format, often used historically, which could suggest a narrative or thematic duality. The flowing contours and organic shapes, reminiscent of rolling Tuscan hills, are rendered in a color palette that brings to mind the golden hour when the sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, enhancing the contours and textures of the terrain. This piece doesn't merely depict a landscape; it evokes the essence and atmosphere of Tuscany, capturing the tranquility and enduring beauty that has inspired artists for centuries. The composition is cleverly segmented yet cohesive, much like the patchwork fields and vineyards of Tuscany. The juxtaposition of the two sheets suggests a horizon line, with the interplay of blues and greens below possibly representing the verdant land, while the lighter hues above hint at the vast sky or perhaps the historical context in which such landscapes were often a backdrop to more prominent subjects. This piece invites a contemplative gaze, encouraging the viewer to wander within the layers of paint and thoughtfully applied lines. It is both a tribute to the serene landscapes of the Renaissance and a modern interpretation that bridges the gap between representational and abstract art.

Her creations resonate with profound shifts—be they physical, emotional, or historical. Drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations, including mythology, sci-fi, and the annals of art history. Ljus's invites audiences to a realm where the present moment is momentarily set aside, allowing for a cathartic journey through emotion, only to circle back with a rejuvenated perspective. Employing a blend of the abstract and the literal, she reimagines literary, fictional, and historical themes, often through a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. At the heart of her repertoire is the notion of transformation. Each piece, echoing life's cyclical dance of birth, decay, and rebirth, beckons onlookers to ponder the depths of change. Her visual lexicon unfolds with a mix of geometric musings and organic shapes, painting dreams and hinting at alternate dimensions. There's a deliberate interplay of color and form—a testament to her infatuation with their symbiotic relationship. Ljus's canvases pulsate with energy, largely credited to her choice of spirited, juxtaposed colors. The echoes of Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, particularly the traces of Orphism and color field techniques, are undeniable in her work. Moreover, the recurring patterns and symbols in her pieces are deliberate nods to mythology, science fiction, and the annals of art history. Ljus's meticulous method involves a profound exploration of narrative through the prism of elementary forms and vivid colors, often blurring the lines between the abstract and the definitive. Her penchant for the tactile essence of paper and water-soluble pigments pushes her to constantly experiment with varied mediums, crafting semi-abstract artworks. Each creation undergoes an intriguing evolution. Beginning with a detailed watercolor foundation, the piece is subject to alterations in color fields and strokes over days or even weeks, reflecting the evolving thoughts and sentiments that sparked its inception. This fluid process sometimes yields unforeseen motifs, adding serendipitous layers to her work. Ljus's oeuvre is thoughtfully segmented into series: "Renewals" delves into the nuances of change. "Strange Worlds" is a poetic contemplation of alternate realities and entities.
