Heidi Hybl

A Charismatic Concept, Abstract Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
The painting draws inspiration from the Big Sur Coast, capturing its essence in an abstract piece that evokes the receding sunset through bold, striped patterns. The vibrant orange hues of the sky harmonize with the turquoise sea, creating a captivating scene. Its less representational nature adds to its allure, bringing the beauty of a coastal view without the confines of realistic details.

About the Artist
Artist Heidi Hybl starts each day listening to the birds sing in the canyon near her home in Big Sur. Then, she makes a cup of tea, reviews the previous day’s work, turns on her podcasts and starts. She paints in a small studio that is separate from her house, and works on several pieces at a time within what she would call “organized chaos.” She also takes time to tend her flowers, vegetables, chickens and goats. A former medical professional, Heidi worked for several years with laser machines, developing a knowledge and a fascination with the color spectrum and light. Living in Big Sur offers inspiration in the ever-changing atmospheric conditions that arise when hills, canyons, and ocean meet. She then reduces these elements to an abstract experience on canvas in a color palette derived from her surroundings: sunsets and storms, fire and fog.
