Finalist- Whitsunday's Art Festival

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

Vibrant colours, a sense of home and safety, soothing waves, the proposal. This place will always remind me of him.

 It was 6 months after he passed, that I saw these colours over the vast ocean. What started out as an ordinary sunset, slowly transformed into this spectacular moment. A sign from him above.

He always was and will always be strongly connected to the water, to this place he visited so often. I come here for now, for reflection, for solace. I created this dreamlike seascape as an expression of my connection with Ryan, and our shared memories here.

But also: To celebrate the loving relationships in our lives, and to treasure the unique places we hold dear, because of them.

Artist Bio

I am currently available for Pet Portaits and commissions!
If an artwork you love is no longer available, please get in touch and I can create something similar but unique to you.

Born and raised in Brisbane, Australia Alyce Duhs is a self-taught emerging artist.
Alyce has developed her passion as an artist over many years, specialising in
photorealistic, illustrative works of art using chalk pastel. The most important part of her style is to
create vibrant paintings of wildlife, seascapes, pets, and botanicals with tremendously high attention
to detail. Alyce has developed her signature style shown through vibrant colours and dramatic
contrasting. Each artwork finished off with extremely delicate detailing and highlighting.

Alyce draws inspiration for her work from various trips to national parks, beaches, rainforests, and
wildlife sanctuaries. From this she captures elements in nature that particularly stimulate her
emotions. 
Alyce believes her art has the power to make one view the natural world in a new light. To discover
beauty in nature that otherwise might seem dull and often overlooked. Like the dreamy reflections in
the ocean or rays of sunlight shining through leaves above. The warmth and coolness of colour and
how they contrast in harmony to capture moments of pure emotion.
