Celestial Cloudscape-original realism surreal seascape-ocean-cloudscape painting
Located in London, Chelsea
Anna Geerdes' "Celestial Cloudscape II" invites viewers into a realm where the boundaries between sky and sea blur into a mesmerizing dreamscape. This original seascape painting captures the essence of surrealism, transporting observers into a world where imagination reigns supreme.
The focal point of the artwork is a meticulously detailed monochrome cloudscape, where wisps of celestial vapor dance gracefully across the canvas. Against this ethereal backdrop, a wave, frozen in motion, rushes towards the shore, embodying the eternal ebb and flow of nature's rhythm.
In the foreground, delicate vines and plants intertwine, their earthly presence contrasting with the celestial elements above. The rich color scheme of blues, browns, and earth tones imbues the scene with depth and warmth, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its enchanting beauty.
This captivating artwork is framed, signed by the artist, and ready to be proudly displayed. Whether gracing the walls of a gallery or adorning a private collection, "Celestial Cloudscape II" captivates the imagination and sparks contemplation of the boundless wonders of the natural world.
"Celestial Cloudscape II" by Anna Geerdes is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art, located in Chelsea, as well as online for art enthusiasts to acquire and cherish.
Artist Bio:
Born in Katwijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, she moved to Scotland in 1991. She graduated from Gray’s School of Art in 2010, achieving a 1st Class BA Hons Degree in Painting Fine Art. On meeting Anna at her highly successful degree show, she was invited to have a solo exhibition in Compass Gallery in 2015 which was met with critical acclaim from audiences both in Scotland and abroad. Her paintings display equally intriguing and superbly powerful scenes which explore and develop her interest in human interaction with our planet, the maps of our land and the nature of the landscape, relating to today’s shifting circumstances. Since graduating, she has had eight successful solo exhibitions in Compass Gallery, Glasgow; Meffan Institute, Forfar; and in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Orkney. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and events including: the Royal Scottish Academy Exhibition; Islington Art Fair; the SSA; a regular exhibitor at Aberdeen Artist Society; Paisley Art...

Shop Abstract, Landscape, Figurative and Still-Life Paintings
Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract, landscape and still-life paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.
When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.
Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs. Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.
No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel. Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color?
On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by popular artists and more today.
