Between Tides II

Between Tides II explores the space between what is seen above the water and what exists beneath it.
Inspired by my experience of ocean swimming, this layered mixed-media work grew from the sense of quiet I find underwater, a place where the usual noise of the world seems to soften and attention turns towards light, movement and rhythm.
Layers of acrylic and mixed media build a shifting landscape where land and ocean seem to meet and dissolve into one another. I was less interested in representing a specific seascape than in translating the sensation of being immersed in water: moving, floating, looking and simply being present.
Part of the Between Tides series, this painting is an invitation to slow down, look closer and imagine what might exist just beneath the surface.

Enora is a Sydney-based mixed media artist. Born on the coast of Brittany, France, she spent years as a professional ballet dancer before moving to Sydney twelve years ago. A conscious journey to unlearn perfectionism and let intuition lead.
Nature runs through everything Enora makes, filtered through feeling and curious observation.
An ocean swimmer and sailor, she's drawn again and again to water, its light, its movement, its pull, alongside plants, the quieter textures of the natural world.
Her work is abstract by instinct: less a record of what she sees than a translation of what she feels, built up in layers of colour, mark, and gesture until something true to the moment emerges.
Her approach stays open and unhurried, leaving room for imperfection and discovery within each piece, an invitation to pause and look deeper.
Having built a life in an unfamiliar country and language, Enora's work often returns to in-between spaces. What it means to belong to two coastlines, two histories, two versions of a body.
