Tempest of Change
"Tempest of Change" ~ Original art by Carmen Delprat.
Oil Painting on Canvas. 92cm x 120cm, 2023.
The multidimensional world around us has been a conceptual cornerstone for most of my career as a figurative and landscape artist. I am fascinated not only by the external visible appearance, but also the invisible vibrations that delicately radiate outwards and slightly touch our experiences. The local coastline of Dudley Beach is a place I find a welcoming retreat and it feels like my own private Idaho. On one occasion I took several photos to try an capture the atmosphere of the clouds and the deep blue ocean. I was compelled to paint the landscape. Working intuitively, the painting took its own direction the the organic twisted lines became increasingly more intertwined and dynamic, creating an atmosphere of renewal and vitality.
This oil painting is a symbolic interpretation of the energetic flow of time, the continious movement of the tides and the engulfing rain clouds that circlulate the flow of water from sea to air back to land, the rivers and our ocean with an unexpected twist on the horizon.
Did you know by choosing art works that feature water and air elements can contribute more to that elemental energy to your space. Images with blue or aqua strengthen the element of water. They are associated with tranquility and peace. Curved lines are considered fortuitous because positive energy travels a curved path. Deep blues symbolise reflection, tranquility and freshness. The curling flowing and twisting lines adds a touch of renewal energy and vitality. This split complementary colour scheme with the deep emerald green and golden copper bring strength and earthly foundations.
In general, larger pieces bring more energy than smaller works. Paintings for the living room can be larger than art in other rooms, and because of the dynamic yang energy ( open and more lively spaces), of the room, your colours can be bolder, too.
Each home is unique and requires size variables when it comes to artworks. With the range of size options available to suit your special home you can make your statement piece work for you.
