Kirsty Wain - ROCAS DE MANILVA - XL

This captivating oil painting features a rich texture and a vibrant color scheme, reflecting both expressionistic and neo-impressionistic influences. It is an original oil on canvas depicting the rocky landscape of the Manilva coast in Andalucia. Drawing inspiration from the works of Sorolla and Hockney, the artist employs a loose and expressive technique. The vivid ocean hues of turquoise and aqua contrast beautifully with the mauves, lemon yellows, pinks, and purples of the rocks, creating a dynamic coastal atmosphere. The artwork captures the Mediterranean coastline along the Costa del Sol, offering a close-up view of the rocky shore, where glistening water reveals pebbles and rocks beneath the surface. The artist's use of fluid and energetic brushstrokes showcases a vibrant palette of mid-summer Mediterranean colors, including brilliant blues and turquoises, while the rocks are depicted in creamy tones accented with mauve, purple, burnt umber, and pink, highlighted by soft yellow shades. This painting is presented on canvas, stretched over a deep-edged wooden frame, making it ready for display without the need for additional framing. It is available directly from the Art Studio and will be shipped with a tracked and signed service.
