Olga Calado
Sand Dunes -original realism seascape oil painting-contemporary Art

2024

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Sand Dunes by Olga Calado takes the viewer on a visual journey across a sunlit beach, where rolling sand dunes stretch towards a clear blue sky. The intricate patterns of the wind-swept dunes are delicately captured in fine detail, with the rippling lines of sand leading the eye across the painting. Sparse tufts of grass punctuate the otherwise vast landscape, their presence a testament to nature’s quiet persistence. In the distance, the deep blue of the ocean contrasts with the golden hues of the sand, evoking the warmth of a sun-drenched afternoon. The artist’s use of light and shadow on the sand enhances the sense of depth and movement, as though the viewer is walking along the dunes, feeling the warmth of the earth beneath their feet. The dunes appear soft and inviting, their smooth contours echoing the rhythm of the natural world. The simplicity of the scene belies its complexity, with each brushstroke contributing to the lifelike portrayal of sand and sea. "Sand Dunes" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, and online. This painting beautifully captures the quiet beauty of a remote coastal landscape, offering a moment of peace and reflection for those who appreciate the art of nature. Artist bio: Olga Calado is a London-based painter who creates realistic oil paintings on canvas. Her work explores themes of beaches, dune landscapes and still life. Olga grew up in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain, next to Doñana National Park and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. There, she drew deep and lasting inspiration from the coastal environment. Following her training in technical drawing, perspective, volume techniques and complex colour composition at Francisco Pacheco High School, she graduated with a BA in Philology from Queen Mary, University of London. She then continued her art education at The Prince Foundation in London, where she studied Old Master oil painting techniques. Olga Calado is a juried member of the International Guild of Realism, IGOR from Arizona, USA. Her art is considered part of the representative style within the Ecological Art Movement. She had exhibitions in commercial galleries and institutional museums, such as Tate Modern or the MEAM, the European Museum of Modern Art. Her works have been exhibited widely in her hometown of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, with additional shows in London, Bolonia, Barcelona and New York. Calado's artworks are in many private collections around the world. Discover the captivating realism of Olga Calado’s seascape paintings, thoughtfully curated at Signet Contemporary Art. Her works are a masterful blend of technical skill and emotional depth, transporting viewers to serene coastal landscapes through her exquisite attention to detail and nuanced use of color. Available for purchase both in our London gallery and online, these exceptional pieces showcase her extraordinary talent and unique artistic vision, offering collectors a chance to own a truly remarkable and timeless work of art. “In my oil paintings, I focus on creating realistic depictions of beaches, sand, and dune landscapes. This realism goes beyond what a camera can capture. My work is infused with light, rhythm, and the experiences that stem from my perceptions. My knowledge of Old Master painting techniques enables me to create and convey atmosphere through delicate lighting on my subjects. By layering multiple coats of oil paint, I aim to achieve a sense of depth in the artwork, resulting in highly detailed pieces that can be appreciated from a distance. My art reflects a deep emotional connection to these landscapes. In a time when many people feel a sense of environmental loss or disconnection from the natural world, my work invites viewers to expand their perceptual abilities and reconnect with the incredible qualities of nature.”- Olga Calado
