We start of #ArtistCloseup with Ellie Lashtiotak, who specializes in painting shorelines. Ellie's paintings are visual odes to the shoreline and her paintings seek to capture the moment where the horizon meets the waves by rendering the sea ripples as illuminated by the sun's rays. Her paintings Wild is the Wind and The Horizon is Gold capture the dynamic movement of waves and are sure to resonate with anyone who appreciates nature's beauty 🌊🐚.
It's unsurprising that Ellie's art studio is located near the shore, where she is surrounded by the sounds of ocean waves and laughter of carefree days. Ellie treats each memory of the water's surface as the brushstroke and her paintings draw from how she experiences nature around her. each memory of the water's surface is a brushstroke and her. As her art studio is surrounded by water, her creative process is contemplative and immersive.
Next up on #ArtistCloseup is Georgina Gray, whose acrylic paintings combines technical skill with a sense of playfulness. Georgina's paintings often features animals in comical scenarios, inviting us into a realm where imagination is boundless. Her artworks seek to capture the inhibited creativity of a child's mind, reflecting her belief that life should not be taken too seriously. Her carefree attitude and playful approach to art is represented in Summer Stroll and South Pole Surfers.
Her artworks are reflective of the lively environment she paints in. Georgina's art studio is her happy place; it is filled with a variety of art materials, colorful knick-knacks and plants. Her art studio provides her with a cozy space to collaborate with her two songs on the same canvas to create art! 🎨✨
We end of #ArtistCloseup with Deborah Mckellar, who incorporates textiles into her acrylic paintings. Her mixed-media art pieces reflect her fascination with the hustle and bustle of Singapore's city life. Her artworks reimagine the cityscape juxtaposing the old and new, seeking to capture Singapore's unique architectural heritage and multi-cultural diversity. Seen in Chinese Treasures and Emerald Phoenix, Deborah's artworks are testaments to her discerning eye and dedication to capturing Singapore's timeless allure 🧵🖌️.
In one of her latest artworks, Deborah applies oil pastels to wood to capture how nature interacts with the surrounding cityscape. She layers colors on top of each other to introduce texture into her art pieces, where each piece demonstrates her eye for detail and patience for her craft.
