Between Tides III

A large abstract work inspired by the experience of being immersed in the ocean and the quiet that can be found beneath its surface.
Between Tides III explores the meeting point between land and water, movement and stillness, the familiar and the unknown. Layers of acrylic build a shifting, atmospheric landscape, allowing colour, texture and gesture to emerge gradually through the surface.
The Between Tides series grew from my experience as an ocean swimmer. There is something about being in the water that changes my sense of time and quietens the noise of everyday life. Under the surface, I become more aware of rhythm, light, movement and the space around me.
Rather than depicting a particular coastline or seascape, this painting is an attempt to translate that feeling of immersion , of being suspended between what is above and what lies beneath.
A piece to pause with, look into, and perhaps find your own sense of stillness.

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.
