Artwork Description

This painting of Barn Owl is from my "Native Birds" series. These amazing creatures are around where I live. Owl has always been a symbol of wisdom and unseen reality. Their powerful gaze and mystical presence remind us of our connection to the spirit world.
This painting is hard to photograph due to its glossy surface and reflection of light. I have used Canada balsam and water-washed walnut oil as a painting medium and its beautiful sheen is very apparent in all-natural lighting conditions, but it does not disturb the eye in life.

Artist Bio

Laura Vecmane is a contemporary visual artist who has been expressing herself through several classical and experimental creative media - painting, mixed media, ephemeral art, ceramics, and sculpture since 2002.
Laura Vecmane was born in Latvia. She feels blessed to have had such origins, but life has taken her to many other beautiful places.
The early years of her artistic career were spent in Europe, studying art in Latvia, Denmark, and Spain. The multicultural influences, impressions of wild Nature, radiant light, rich and vivid colors, and scenes of daily life have been significant inspirations for Laura’s art. While studying the contemporary, Laura finds herself to be an old-school soul of timeless art. Looking at many great famous artists has given her the confidence not to define herself by just one art medium.
Laura resides and works in Maleny, Sunshine Coast, where she explores the motives of native Australian fauna and flora, still life, interiors, and people through her paintings. Laura often travels for many creative adventures overseas and life on land has inspired her many collaborations with Nature, and she feels passionate about further developing her artistic skills as a sculptor and painter.
