FINE ART

A detailed perspective of the natural world

Inspired by the natural world, this Fine art collection is a combination of many materials and Mediums. The works are predominately 3 dimensional, mostly created using recycled materials ranging from cardboard, electrical wire, newspaper, wool, fabrics, plaster, clay and oil and acrylic paint. Oil paint is Petra’s main painting medium, but she is always experimenting with different mediums to achieve that perfect effect, striving for a strong, secure and tidy finish.

COLOURSCAPE

A touch of Impressionism and Abstract

The Colourscape collection represents the effects of reactions between mixed mediums. The power of the chemistry between these pigments carried by different mediums, attracting or repelling each other sometimes results in beautiful formations.
Before being sealed, a single painting could have had multiple layers of work on it, ranging from the original pour, to sanding back looking for patterns under dried paint, rubbing in ink or more paint to stain or add colour, and in general working on and enhancing areas where possible.
These Formations are then preserved by a coating of a premium quality finish (resin, satin or matte Varnish) on a ready-to-hang, multi-directional board..
