Description

This piece captures the gentle interplay of tones, evoking the soft glow of moonlight cascading over a crisp, snowy landscape. With intricate, expressive strokes, I've created a scene that transports the viewer to a quiet, dreamlike woodland glade, where a romantic moon hangs above delicate birch trees. The stillness of the woods invites a sense of serene wonder and quiet contemplation, making this artwork a calming presence in any space.
An original, one-of-a-kind piece, this painting is created using acrylic paints on a deep-edged canvas. My process begins with observation, then in the studio, I work intuitively, laying down initial brushwork before building up texture with impasto techniques using a palette knife. I draw inspiration from both the optical mixing of the Impressionists and the traditional methods of the old masters, such as scumbling and glazing.
Each layer adds depth and emotion, and I continue refining the piece until it naturally comes to completion. The final result is a contemporary painting that lives between abstraction and realism. The artwork extends around the edges of the canvas, is signed on the front, and is ready to hang, no framing required.
