Description of the Artwork “Caught in the Act”
In this mythological tableau, an owl assumes the role of creator, weaving a transcendental alpine reality from its plumage. Rendered in the contemporary art style, the piece transports viewers to an idyllic Switzerlan-inspired scene, where vibrant wildflowers border a cascading waterfall. This artwork is a celebration of both the natural world and the metamorphic act of painting, inviting onlookers to delve into a world where the mystical and the real converge.
Artwork in the interior
Gill Bustamante, United Kingdom
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.
