Oil on Canvas, 60x80cm
My landscape paintings express my emotions and experiences, embodying my footsteps across the land and the excitement of travel. This sunset painting illuminates the atmosphere around me and the dynamic motion I felt, revealing intricate abstract mark-making up close, contributing to texture and depth. These marks reflect my immediacy and intuition in capturing atmosphere and motion.
