Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the back.
This is an original one off, little abstract painting on a stretched canvas ready to hang on your beautiful wall. And the perfect unique gift!
The foreground object in this painting is in a beautiful dark teal blue. The background is an extra pale grey, just off white.
Underwater life thrills me. All the amazing sea-life and the multi-layered landscape beneath the surface is a place of beauty, comfort, discovery and otherworldliness. I find these things beautiful and soothing just like creating art.
‘Bio-Cluster Tideline Dwellers III’ belongs to my ‘Aqua Vitae’ Series, inspired by microscopic other worlds and aquatic wonderlands. I am deeply inspired by nature and the forces that shape it, especially the ocean.
I am constantly fascinated by the layers and colours found in sea-life and rockpools. And the ability of creatures to camouflage into their surrounds for survival…. either to escape prey or become predators themselves. Masterful disguises and the perfect artists!
All the tiny fragments of the universe and patterns of life, and of course I can never escape the Oceans pull on me. I grew in and by the sea. Bioluminescent organisms, magnificent corals, nudibranchs, seaweeds, algae, shell forms, life in a rock-pool and all manner of sea creatures from my memories of Snorkelling around the back beach at Flinders, Australia. All these things I think about and look at when I am creating these paintings.
Ultimately the paintings are about our sense of awe and wonder at these miraculous building blocks of life. The hope is that these biomorphic forms trigger a beautiful uplifting and contemplative experience for the viewer. An experience that also reminds us of the beauty in, and of our important relationship to, the fragile natural world.
What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as well as giving their walls interest and a splash of colour for years to come.
