Artist statement
It seems antiquated in today’s fast paced, digital, gender ID’d, social media driven and dominated world, to paint a piece of :
Ancient Bristlecone pine, a methuselah pine, woods in the winter or desolation desert dunes.
They are neither trendy nor in sink with the Zeitgeist, but they are there: Silent.
I want to give them a voice.
I want to get in touch with the viewer to awake a dormant desire to visit and value the other world, which is there, vast, gigantic and intimate. I want to invite you to explore those silent treasures and listen to their stories.
I used the media Oil on canvas and integrated a piece of nature which I found on the trail : ( Rusted can pieces, wood pieces, bees nest, fiber)
