Crafted with impressionistic flair, 'Winter Woodland Majesty' is a contemporary oil painting by Gill Bustamante, celebrating the vibrant beauty of a pheasant in a winter woodland. The artist's infusion of Art Nouveau style brings to life the magical, ethereal quality of the woodland backdrop, brilliantly captured in the piece's substantial 101 by 101 cm presence. Utilizing a deep edge canvas, this 2022 artwork comes ready to hang, requiring no additional framing.
I am a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. My painting style is very distinct and fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect my love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around me. My main working method has been the development of a painting style I term ‘memory impressionism’. This method involves going walking somewhere, looking at and absorbing the things I see and experience, and then returning home to my studio to try and capture an echo or essence of the place from memory - including any wildlife I may have seen. By this method I can capture essences and echoes of places and the feeling I have about them. I love the ancient landscapes of England and my paintings often reflect the spiritual elements that such landscapes have.
