swamp

details

Swamp is an abstract work that delves into the rich textures and vibrant colors of nature. As an intuitive painter, I let the piece evolve over time, resulting in a dynamic and layered composition. Created with acrylic on panel, this painting features many layers of paint, some of which have been scraped back to reveal the history of its creation.

The inspiration behind Swamp is the lush, green beauty of life and water, rather than the dangerous connotations often associated with swamps. The main colors are various shades of green, accented with splashes of orange and highlighted with touches of gold. These gold highlights add a shimmering quality, enhancing the sense of depth and richness.

Trails through the green resemble rivers or streams viewed from above, adding a sense of movement and life. This piece embodies the persistence of creation, with several layers overpainted until the composition felt right. The result is a harmonious blend of color and texture that invites viewers to explore the serene and life-giving aspects of a swamp.
