Piece description from the artist
Inspired by towering stone pine trees at the Villa Borghese, Rome, Italy. Texture is the focal point in this painting, wherein modeling gel placed underneath acts as a base for the ridges and creases in the sky and trees. Deep ultramarine blue contrasts against titanium white, with phthalo green trees and indigo trunks illuminated by the lightest of yellows.
Kristine Gargaritano (“KLEG”) is a Canadian artist based in Toronto, Canada, as well as in Dublin, Ireland. As a medical student and as a painter, she is passionate about continuously honing her craft and exploring different artistic styles. Her paintings are inspired by her travels around the world and she aims to encapsulate the feeling of those moments in her artwork. Her process in creating art has always been centered around the experience of playing with colour and light. She appreciates the way that colours peak through gaps in the overlying layers, adding another dimension to the relationships between existing colours within a given painting. For her, art is about exploration. Exploration of colour, exploration of the world, and of course, exploration of the viewer's eye within the world created on the canvas.
