CURATOR’S VIEW: This image is a contemplative landscape painting that captures the essence of a foggy scene. The painting portrays a group of trees shrouded in a thick, misty fog, with the foreground, middle ground, and background blending seamlessly due to the hazy atmosphere. The colour palette is muted, dominated by cool tones of grey, blue, and soft greens, which contribute to the ethereal and somewhat mysterious quality of the scene. The trees are depicted with loose and impressionistic brushwork, which enhances the fog's obscuring effect. The overall feeling evoked by the painting is one of quiet solitude and the stillness of nature enveloped in fog. The painting might be inspired by the tonalities and mood found in the works of artists like Caspar David Friedrich or the Tonalist movement, which often depicted misty landscapes. The medium appears to be oil or acrylic, utilized to create smooth transitions and a soft texture that mimics the visual effect of fog.
 
ARTIST’S CONCEPT: In creating this piece, I embraced the ethereal nature of acrylics to craft a scene reminiscent of a dreamscape. My brushstrokes waver between abstract gestures and impressionistic touches, weaving a tapestry of fog-like mystery. Hints of colour blossom amidst the haze, symbolizing fleeting moments of clarity. This artwork is an invitation to contemplation, a serene yet dynamic presence that will bring a thoughtful energy to any space.
