Artwork Description

This is a layered mixed media painting made with oil paint, acrylic, wax medium, pastels, and graphite on wood panel.

It acts as a meditation on spring’s quiet awakenings. The golden blush of wattle lining the suburban streets, of new quiet chatter of baby birds, and the emergence of small blossoms here. These influences all drift into the work as fleeting impressions, moving through them using bold colour and texture.

“Where Spring Sleeps” becomes a dreamscape then, between waking and resting,

Painted in 2025.

Artist Bio

Krystle Anne Venal is a multidisciplinary emerging artist and poet whose abstract paintings serve as a meditative exploration of her subconscious.

Her creative process is intuitive and unplanned, shaped by her unique way of thinking in words, concepts, and ideas rather than visuals. This approach makes painting an in-the-moment experience, where colors, textures, and marks emerge spontaneously, guided by an inner rhythm.

Her work is inspired by the small, often overlooked moments of life, her own history, poetry, music and the ethereal. These influences shape her art, inviting viewers to also transcend the physical realm and delve into a spiritual world of abstraction.

As she paints, she experiences a trance-like state, fully present and yet deeply connected to the act of creation. Each brush stroke becomes a conscious gesture, a dialogue between the present moment and the deeper currents of her inner world.

Through her art, Krystle Anne Venal seeks to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection, encouraging viewers to look beyond the surface and discover the spiritual within and quiet introspection. Her paintings are not just visual experiences but invitations to explore the profound and often unseen dimensions of life.
