Plant Connection 3 Painting

My passion for nature has profoundly influenced my artistic journey. This particular painting is part of a series inspired by a plant I keep at home. I captured countless photos from various angles and lighting conditions to discover the perspectives that resonated with me. My aim was to convey both its elegance and the impact it has on my living space. The plant’s blend of stillness and vitality evokes a deep sense of calm amidst the busy, noisy flow of life, and I hope viewers can feel this connection. While I also enjoy sculpting with wood, my preferred medium is oil paint. I love the tactile experience of scratching the canvas with a knife when using thick paint or brushing on layers when working with a more diluted consistency. This technique allows me to create rich textures and subtle nuances of colour, which I consider the most vital aspect of my work.
