As an artist, I find immense joy in capturing the essence of simple, yet profound moments in life. My mixed media painting, a semi-abstract artwork, depicts a delightful day out having a picnic. All the lovely things are laid out on the picnic rug, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene. The use of bold, solid colours combined with intricate pencil work brings this piece to life, creating a vibrant and dynamic composition.
Picnics are a beautiful way to bring families together. Children play, parents chat, and there is a sharing of family values that is both heart-warming and timeless. This painting aims to encapsulate that sense of togetherness and joy.
During a recent visit to Argentina, I was struck by the number of families gathered in green spaces by the side of the road, often near motorways. They were having picnics, playing with kites and footballs, and it was lovely to see the connections among these people. This experience deeply influenced my work, inspiring me to create this piece that celebrates the simple pleasures of life and the bonds that unite us.
In this artwork, you will find a colourful array of picnic items, abstractly arranged yet instantly recognisable. The interplay of colours and textures invites the viewer to explore the painting, discovering new details with each glance. This piece is not just a visual representation but a celebration of family, connection, and the joy of shared moments.
