My interpretation of strata is cinematic, revealing landscapes as ever-changing, shaped by the forces acting upon them. Though often perceived as still, landscapes are in fact frozen moments of transition, charged with energy and anticipation of change. By abstracting the details of real places, I invite viewers to connect with the emotional depth of the landscape rather than its literal appearance. Inspired by nature, my mark-making is gestural and dynamic, reflecting a deep, immersive engagement with the environment.
This abstract layered acrylic painting is a landscape formed through memory, following sketches made on location. Rather than depicting exact details, it captures the atmosphere, rhythm, and emotional impression of the place. Layers of colour and texture reflect how the memory of a landscape shifts over time—fragmented, softened, and reimagined. The result is a personal interpretation that merges observation with reflection, blending reality and recollection into a unified visual experience.
3 Colours Formation explores the emotional and spatial depth that emerges from the interaction of just three colours. Through layered acrylic techniques, the landscape is abstracted into fields of colour that blend, overlap, and respond to one another. This limited palette becomes a tool for balance and tension, where each hue plays a distinct role in forming the atmosphere, movement, and essence of the natural scene
This abstract landscape painting combines acrylic and distinctive charcoal lines to explore the landscape as a layered record of time. It is no longer a two-dimensional surface, rather a layered strata. Inspired by beach-forming events, storms, and tidal movements, it reveals land not as a static scene but as evolving strata—each mark capturing nature’s memory, motion, and continuous transformation.
