Artist Statement

In my expressionist landscape paintings and abstract art, I try to catch a moment and make timeless the changeable – light, colours, movement, mood and the momentum. I believe that art has the power to transform people’s life

The major theme of my artistic interest and inspiration is nature in a broad sense. I focus on a speechless interaction between a human being and a certain piece of reality – wheter it is landscape, single tree, flower or a city life scene. Meditative approach to an encountered place lets me sense its energy and discover its metaphorical meaning. I interpret outside world and natural environment through ‘inner eye lenses’. My works, either abstracts or landscape paintings, photography or pen&ink drawings, they all document my emotional attitude to the world I live in. To express myself, the art language I speak through is colour, texture, movement, lines and light especially in landscape paintings and landscape photography.

I do not limit myself in my creative process and use various media – oil, acrylic, watercolour, pencils, markers, pen & ink, monotype. Photography usually plays a role of a creative diary, yet sometimes it lives its own life. I also do not like to stick to one theme. Instead, I explore possibilities nature and imagination create for me. Read more about me at Danuta Antas BLOG.
