Buried Treasure Print

An underwater scene full of texture and painterly qualities in acrylic medium. Coastal references with coral, shells, fish, rock and stone. It has been painted in a semi abstract and contemporary style with colours of ultramarine blue, burnt umber, subtle pink tones, gold to add shimmer, white and shades of black. The artwork has strong impact with a deep contrast creating an almost 3D effect which looks different from every angle. Inspired by my time spent at rustic British locations along the coastline. I spend many hours studying, drawing and painting. The artwork evokes an emotional response to forms and textures from the underwater sea world. I have come to realize that it’s not ‘what you paint’ that is important, but ‘how you paint it’. So in my interpretation of painting a subject, I try to maintain the essence of what first inspired me to paint it. For me, what is fundamental in my paintings are light, subtlety of color, harmony, depth and drama, while still staying true to the subject. In my finished work, I hope that I have conveyed to the viewer interest and intrigue with this ethereal work of art. It has been painted on stretched primed cotton canvas and been framed with a solid wood 'floating' frame painted in a warm mat white to complement the image. All fixtures and fittings are in place and therefore ready to hang in your home or work space. This beautiful image would suit many home interiors both modern and the more traditional so to enhance large areas of wall space to create an eye catching feature and interesting focal point.
