Painted during the Covid-19 time of curfews and quarantine, I painted it as a reminder of what awaited us soon ahead, on the other side of the pandemic restrictions and the long colder months. I wanted to represent the nostalgia of summer and to portray a metaphor for summer inviting us in. Inspired by Joaquín Sorolla and his use of light and depiction of shadow and reflections, using subtle lilacs and deeper mauves. I wanted the composition to be simple and uncomplicated, and I wanted it to be something quintessential of the Mediterranean during summer. Somewhere warm and familiar. The staircase serves as the invitation to enter into the scene, into summer. And the colour palette I chose was to I chose the colour palette to help spark these memories – to be reminiscent of that familiar afternoon summer light on the Mediterranean coast, that embracing warmth of the sun, and those relaxing azures of the water. With this painting, I wanted to trigger a warm and contented memory for the viewer but also more than that, I wanted to trigger a feeling – a longing.

Emily is a British artist living in Barcelona, Spain. In 2021 she was shortlisted for the 19th edition of the l'Alcora-Ximén d'Urrea Young Painter's Prize in Spain. Emily grew up in Winchester, Hampshire and has spent a lot of time over the years in the French countryside and on the island of Menorca. She has since lived in London, Sydney, and Barcelona, where she is currently based. Emily is greatly influenced by the relaxed outdoor lifestyle of warmer climes, drawing inspiration largely from coastal locations but also rural landscapes, for the beauty in natural life and form, and the warmth of the continental light. It is the subtleties of this light that she endeavours to capture with her painting. She is hugely inspired by Joaquín Sorolla, Ken Howard and Claude Monet. Emily has spent periods studying under mentors Maria Rose, Piotr Perski and Ricardo Llopico. She began her painting career with watercolours but her preferred medium is oils, painting en plein air whenever she can – for the excitement of the speed and technique used, calling for simplification to convey only what is needed. Emily’s work was exhibited in the Mall Galleries 2023 Art for Youth exhibition. Her paintings are part of the ongoing collections at Bell Fine Art, Winchester, and Blue Frame Gallery, Barcelona; whilst her Giclée prints are part of the collections at Nadia Waterfield Fine Art; Gallery 5, Salcombe; and Yarmouth Gallery, Isle of Wight. Emily is a Friend of the ROI.
