Mandy Main
Ocean Dreamscape, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
A peaceful scene of an isolated beach embodies a sense of serenity and quiet in artist Mandy Main's minimalist seascape. The rock formations, sculpted with light and shadow, imbue an organic quality. A thin slice of the tranquil deep blue ocean rests above the softly undulating sand. The gradient sky, in cool royal blue, transitions to warm cerulean as it drops down to a white glow of mist. A bank of gray clouds hovers in the lower sky, with wisps breaking off and blowing upward.


About the Artist
Mandy Main is an art historian and landscape painter based in the Southern California desert. She has long been passionate about 19th Century American landscape paintings, which has been influential in her artistic practice. Mandy works in series, generally three paintings at a time. Her process begins with a vision of a place she has been, but she takes creative liberties with the aesthetic details. The artist is captivated by light and shadow, and strives to instill her work with moody drama through the representation of these elements. Using layers of paint and glazes, Mandy achieves mesmerizing atmospheric depth, encouraging the viewer to gaze and be still.
