Imponente Dos is a new painting from Stephanie's Bailar series. 'In addition to my Concerto series, which conveys the parallels between music and visual arts, it's my intention in the Bailar series to express the energy and movement of dance through brushwork. For me, the intertwining layers of composition and colour create a unique contrast in intensity and subtlety that expresses movement and depth. Just as in dance there is a story unfolding within the layers'
In this series acrylic and oil pastel are combined with a printed image of Stephanie's original artworks. Each painting in this series is original. There is only 1 of each.
All paintings are finished in 2 coats of satin lacquer for protection and longevity.
Stephanie grew up in the country areas of the New South Wales Central Coast and moved to the Gold Coast in 1997 to be closer to her family. Daughter of political cartoonist Larry Pickering and 1 of 11 children, she enjoyed a colourful and interesting childhood. With a background in graphic design she was a partner in ‘Studio Otto Illustration and Design’ for 12 years before deciding to devote her time fully to painting in 2007. ‘I aim to achieve a sense of visual completeness in my work by exploring the interplay of various elements like contrast, colour, texture and tone. She is interested in the correlation between these elements and our own human traits, and how this can influence our response to them.
