Kirsty Wain
´There is a link between soul, place, and destiny, my paintings are an expression of these.´
Biography
Kirsty Wain is a contemporary British painter living and working in Spain.
She has exhibited in a number of group and solo exhibitions, recently including the ´Being with Trees´ exhibition in Gibraltar currently ´Regeneration' at the Hansard Studio, London. Her work is in many private collections worldwide.
My landscape work aims to capture the essence of a place, I work freely, using colour and line to create a rhythmic composition. Echoes of impressionism are reflected in the work. I work with thick textured paint applied to the surface. I am inspired by the natural world and its ever-changing presence, the forms of trees, the curves of the land, the expanse of the ocean, and the beautiful and amazing skies. Places are special to me as they trigger memories of a moment or a time, whilst to the viewer a painting of a place can be somewhere to wonder about, reflect upon and enjoy.´
