Migration, Oil Painting

2022

Artist Comments
An image of two birds flying against the background of the sun develops in artist Heidi Hybl's modernist piece. She shares an engaging interpretation of Japanese influences, to which she looks for inspiration. "I have a deep appreciation of the qualities that I find there - sometimes a stillness, often a concentration of energy that makes the work endlessly appealing," shares Heidi. Migration references these aspects and calls to mind the color of indigo used in cultural fabrics.

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.
