Mixed-Media-Oil, 152×92×3 cm
Background:
Wave Riders is about freedom, like wild horses running free in the warm ocean somewhere. Freedom is so important to me, maybe because I’m an Aries. I had spend my whole life moving around and living in different places, Europe, UK, the states, Central America, doing exactly what I wanted, and as a single mum of a toddler, I didn’t feel like I had the same freedom anymore. I really had to learn how to make time for all of the things I wanted to do, and that’s what this painting is about, freeing yourself and doing what you want to do.
Process:
The underpainting is painted with acrylic ink to create interesting patterns, then thicker acrylic layers for structure, and finished with oil paint for depth and rich tones. I added the details with gold leaf on the mountains to make it look like they’re reflecting the light.
Materials:
The frame is handmade and covered with Caravaggio cotton canvas, a professional quality canvas, made in Italy.
