Ronda Waiksnis

Naturea's Duality, Abstract Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
This abstract painting captures the striking contrast between a restless sky and the quiet strength of the land below. Storm clouds churn in layered blues and grays, their forms hinting at change on the horizon. Beneath them, a golden field stretches wide, its warm tones anchoring the scene in calm resilience. The composition feels both dramatic and grounded, charged with movement, yet deeply still.

About the Artist
Artist Ronda Waiksnis captures nature's visceral beauty in her abstract and expressionist works. Embracing the capriciousness of the creative process, she allows her intuition to guide her, resulting in pieces that feel both organic and unrefined. "My paintings have been found, not built," says Ronda. Rarely using brushes, she applies layers of paint with large palette knives or her fingers, emphasizing the importance of balancing creative abandon and physical control. Ronda operates in a gloriously messy studio, a standalone building behind her house, with a powerful sound system that keeps the vibe carefree and intense. When she's not creating art, Ronda enjoys spending time with her loved ones, playing with her dogs, and savoring a glass of wine.
