Chromis Viridis V

My underwater series depicts abstracted underwater scenes where schools of fish swim and swirl in harmony. The impressionist application of a single colour per brush-stroke, each representing a fish, works to create a varied depth of field and an almost three-dimensional appearance. In vibrant blues and greens with pops of red, yellow or magenta, my paintings appear alive with movement, texture and colour. This series of works talks about my connection and love towards nature, especially the ocean. This series depicts abstracted underwater scenes and is full of movement, texture and an array of ocean colours. The titles of the paintings reveal the inspiration behind the paintings, schools of fish swirling around. Recently, I realised that I am using the same colours in my paintings as the Finnish traditional textile artists weaving the landscape of Finland. I love exploring and experimenting with the mediums I choose to achieve a visual feast in the viewer’s eye.
