Swallows
Impressionist Series
£1500.00
Encaustic
Capturing the chaotic energy of nature in motion, ‘Swallows’ is a powerful abstract exploration of flight and atmosphere. The composition centres around a dense, sweeping vortex of deep indigo blues and shadow blacks, evoking a frantic murmuration of swallows navigating a turbulent sky. Inspired by late Impressionism, the piece juxtaposes this dark kinetic centre with explosive accents of fiery crimson and the sun-bleached expanse of chalky white light, giving a vivid sensory translation of wind, speed, and instinct.
Executed in encaustic (beeswax/resin), the artist showcases the raw, tactile quality of the medium through expressive, multidirectional mark-making that mimics heavy, broken impasto oil painting, dynamically trapping and scattering ambient light.
