Weightless

'Weightless' is an original 50cm round artwork layered using a range of textured painting techniques in ocean tones that move through soft aqua, seafoam, turquoise and deeper teal.

Sculpted textures sweep across the surface in gentle, tidal curves. Some sections are smooth and fluid, while others are richly raised and organic — almost reef-like — creating depth that shifts subtly with the light throughout the day.

There’s a quiet sense of movement in this piece — like looking down into water where currents overlap. Inspired by the calm that comes from standing at the shoreline.

Created on a wooden art board using mixed media.

Suzie Firth is a Melbourne-based artist creating original textured artworks inspired by the Australian landscape and natural world. Working with mixed media on canvas and wood, she creates sculptural pieces designed to bring the quiet beauty of nature indoors, creating spaces that feel calm and connected to nature.

Inspired by the colours, textures and patterns found in nature, Suzie embraces an intuitive approach to painting. Creating art is a grounding ritual that allows her to slow down, be present and disconnect from the busyness of everyday life. Rather than working to a strict plan, she lets each piece unfold organically, building texture and subtle sculptural detail over time until it feels complete.

Her hope is that each artwork offers more than something beautiful to look at. She hopes it becomes part of a home—a piece that invites people to slow down, pause for a moment and enjoy the space they're in.
