Artwork Description

A textural abstract work from the Colourwave series, built through hundreds of repetitive, scale-like marks in shifting shades of teal, sage, and deep ocean blue, punctuated by flashes of ochre and coral. Each mark is laid down in a single deliberate gesture β€” one breath, one stroke β€” building toward something immersive and meditative. The impasto surface catches light differently throughout the day, revealing depth and movement that photographs can only hint at. This piece carries the quiet intensity of deep water β€” still on the surface, alive underneath.

Artist Bio

Hello! I'm Madeline, an abstract artist based in Melbourne. I am captivated by the interplay of colour and texture, and find myself constantly experimenting with how to integrate them. I draw textural inspiration from the natural world, everyday life and the masters of colour, texture, and abstraction. I leave interpretation up to the eye of the viewer. I don't want to complicate it; I paint what I feel, with intent. If you enjoy it half as much as I did making it, then we'll call it a success! Life is short, and I am thrilled to be on this journey and to be able to share it with you. Please feel free to say hello anytime :) :) :)
