Alix Palo

Blue Hydrangea Echos, Abstract Painting

2023

Artist Comments
This vibrant piece captures the essence of hydrangeas with varying shades of blue. Layers of liquid acrylics and thick application of full-bodied paint create veils of whites, greens, and purple. The composition echoes the image of the flowers without relying on realist representation.

About the Artist
Artist Alix Palo captures nature's tranquility and dramatic allure in her effusive floral works. She studied Art History, and after completing botanical art and illustration programs, she shifted from a realistic style to a non-representational and expressive approach. Directional lines and mark-making provide impact and emphasize a focal point in each of her pieces. "My use of color and light helps to achieve a painting's mood and I hope the viewer experiences this," says Alix. As a mom of six, she found herself wanting to carve out her interests—and encouraging her children to reach their goals has fueled her to achieve her own. Today, she works on the ground floor of her home, always surrounded by her dogs and occasionally cluttered with supplies. When she is not painting, Alix enjoys playing and coaching pickleball, cooking delicious dishes, and traveling to discover new sceneries and art.
