'Inside a Surreal Romance' Original Oil Painting

$265.00

A dreamlike composition brings you to feel warmth, color, subtle pleasures, and depth of emotion. Fall into your own imagination as this painting can take you to a world of unconscious wonder. Based off of simple objects, which are a angel candle, dried out romantic Baby’s Breath, and natural elements, a story of relatable feeling and mood is brought to life. Using softer colors and gradations, the subtle blending of color change is contrasted to the rich and deep colors of the cloud and rainbow.

This meaning is meant to be ambivalent, however, I invite you to focus the story around your own self. Don’t be afraid to experiment, as that is what art is for.

Measurements are 36x24 and 1 inch deep for width. Oil on canvas. Comes ready to hang with hook and wire. Created in 2023.

The Process |

I created this from a very imaginative place. I wanted to beat the confining limits to a usual still life, and approach it more freely. I first made a small sketch based on my idea with my chosen objects (which I found in my house), and then transferred it to the large scale canvas. I purposely chose this to be of a grander scale, due to the fact that you really can imagine yourself into this scene while being in front of it. I enjoyed experimenting with different painterly techniques, such as traditional brush blending, layering, as well as using a palette knife to mimic glitched yet soft marks surrounding the objects. I loved the idea of a candle to transmit that romantic cozy feel, and have the viewer be enlightened by this glow. Paint or a rainbow, comes into the angel candle, which can be a metaphor for many different ideas.
