ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This exploration of water and its reflection is an ode to the ethereal beauty that can be found in even the simplest of natural elements. The calligraphic brushworks and illustrative lines used in this piece create a contrast between thick and thin, fluid and solid, blurring the lines between the reflection and depth of the water. It's as though you can feel the gentle ebb and flow of the waves beneath your feet, while simultaneously being mesmerized by the mirroring effect of the water's surface. I aim to capture the essence of what it feels like to be by the water, with its calming influence and rejuvenating energy. The way the lines seem to flow above and under each other, encapsulates the fluidity and serenity of this natural element. In this piece, water is not just a physical entity, but a source of inspiration and contemplation. It's a reminder to take a moment and simply be, to bask in the peacefulness of the world around us, and to find beauty in the most unexpected of places. The use of impasto in the artwork creates a sense of tactile richness and depth on the surface, adding a layer of dimensionality to the artwork. UV varnished. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.

Alissa is a contemporary landscape artist, currently based in North Vancouver, Canada. Her semi-abstract acrylic works capture the tranquility of the West Coast, focusing on conveying her personal impressions of the landscapes rather than providing a literal or detailed representation. Through her subjective interpretation, she transforms the scenery into a collection of fragmented elements using color, shape, and texture. Alissa finds true calm and serenity in front of a canvas. In a world filled with anxiety and division, she hopes her work transports viewers to a place of peace. Each brushstroke is infused with intuitive, meditative energy, reflecting her deep connection to nature. Her paintings evoke a sense of wonder, drawing viewers into a quiet realm of stillness. Through her art, Alissa invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. She has extensive experience teaching painting and has showcased her artworks in numerous Juried Group exhibitions as well as in Solo Exhibitions across the North Shore and British Columbia. Her works can be found in private collections in Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, South Korea, Sweden, Australia, Italy and Greece. She has collaborated with Saatchi Art on hospitality projects in San Diego and Andalucía, New Mexico, USA. Her notable clients include Loblaws President's Choice and Samsung Frame TV.
