Mixed Media on wood, ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
Deep blues, washes of whites and greys flow amongst the swell of waves across the page. The collaged and painterly layers of blues and whites captivate us with their rhythmic forms. We become lost and surrender to the force and beauty of the sea.
This collection incorporates her signature ink paintings, with mixed media collage, beautifully arranged organic forms and tranquil line work, reminiscent of the play of light and colour upon mountains, sky and sea.
The work of Celeste Wrona is an investigation in fluid painterly abstraction that expresses the feeling of awe we experience when in the vast presence of nature and light. Her subject matter is deeply influenced by the regenerative properties of the natural environment; in which people, meaning and change are both grounded and flourish. Wrona’s process of layering both vivid and subdued colours, flowing mountainous lines, and organic forms, are intentional, intuitive, and reverent. Much like the impressionists and post-impressionists Wrona is deeply inspired by the play of light and explosion of colour within nature, as well as the deeper emotional and spiritual connection we have to the world. “I want the viewer to consider, react, and respond to the artwork, the environment and their internal state simultaneously.” This ongoing internal and external conversation between the viewer and their experiences of awe within her work is the core narrative Wrona is concerned with. She hopes that through the experience of awe the viewer can change their perception of self and focus their attention outward beyond their existing frame of reference. In turn the viewer sees themselves as part of something larger, humbled and more connected to others and their place in the universe.
