Seeing The Light Painting by Stefanie Kirby

Painting: Acrylic on Canvas.

Artist Statement

As an artist, I am fascinated with the movement that is created when I am painting and all that occurs physically and emotionally. I attempt to capture this visually as moments in time. Through this process, I discovered that organic shapes and floral landscapes lend themselves well as expressions of gesture and offer visual metaphors of emotions.
The flower's lifecycle is rapid, fleeting, elusive, and whimsical. My artwork strives to express energy, tension and/or dynamic beauty that hopefully captures the fleeting and powerful moments of the flowers bloom. In so doing, I attempt to grab the viewer’s attention and carry their gaze into the emotion of the painting, which in the end is the subject of the artwork. Paralleling the complexities of our emotions and the fragility and power of the human condition.
