LANDSCAPE PAINTING
My passion for the natural world has always drawn me into capturing and creating works of art which relate the beauty of landscape. In awe of the wonders of nature, I draw, sketch and paint scenery from around
the world, never running out of amazement at how varied and contrasting the world can
be depending on which part of the globe you are located.When it comes to landscape painting, I especially love the way that light and shadow interplay with the natural and artificial world, and how it can affect the mood of a setting. I enjoy playing with colours and highlighting areas on the canvas with irridecent and luminant paints which shine and appear different in tint and hue depending on what angle you are viewing the painting from and how the light falls on it. I also like painting in oil creating a soft, impressionistic effect where light is a crucial factor in a painting which appears to change as the lights dim. In this way, by varying the strength of the light falling on the artwork, one can change the whole image, making it appear as though bright daytime colours have changed to evening dusky hues.In general, I aspire to capture the mood of a place, the atmosphere of the environment, and to evoke a feeling of actually experiencing the place when you look at it in the painting. I think capturing contrasts in composition or texture and colour can lead to powerful and striking work.I am currently working on several themed series of landscapes which will be exhibited in the near future. These range from snowscapes, inspired by the Canadian icy winters, to seascapes- the source of inspiration which have been my travels to the Caribbean tropics and Africa. Of course, living in Cyprus, where there is a never-ending wealth of stunning scenery, is always an inspiration, and I hope to be able to capture something previously unseen in Cypriot landscapes, in my own unique style.
