Arrivée en Gare Painting

"I'm fascinated by the process of deconstructing photographs of objects or places that i find beautiful, and recreating them on a large scale using islands of colour. While up close these islands look like random puddles, from a distance the eye will automatically reconstruct the original image. It's magical! Because the acrylics i use are liquid, the canvas must lie flat until it is completely dry. The final effect is only seen when i can finally lift it up into a vertical position and step back. It's often a breathtaking moment! All of the richness, the depth and the emotion are suddenly there." Natalie Corman was born in 1963 in Belgium and grew up in Canada.
