Artist Comments
A textured peony bloom unfolds in expressive, layered brushstrokes. Soft white, lavender, and blue petals exude grace, while warm yellows and pinks light up the flower’s heart. Lush green leaves provide a vibrant contrast, enhancing the pastel-toned background's charm and balance. The thick impasto technique adds depth, creating a dynamic, tactile quality that draws the viewer in.

About the Artist
Artist Nava Lundy crafts impressionist paintings that radiate delicate feminine charm, characterized by romantic and textured elements. Focused on achieving depth and dimension, Nava applies impasto layers with a palette knife. With a touch of gold present in nearly all her pieces, her paintings shimmer with a luminous and dreamlike quality. "My goal is to have the viewer see the depth of color I see and to rethink the mundane by elevating it through the exploration of subtlety and turning up its volume at just the right points," says Nava. Her creative journey took a transformative turn at 16 when a teacher's encouragement led her to discover her artistic voice. She then pursued a BFA degree in painting. Nava works in her cluttered home studio, accompanied by her two dogs and occasionally music or podcasts. Beyond art, she spends quality time with her family and rescue hounds and enjoys her alone time in the morning with a strong cup of coffee and a workout.
