"Considered symbols of luck, Koi fish are known for their tenacity to swim rushing streams and waterfalls until they reach their goal," says artist Candice Eisenfeld. "They are determined and they never give up. Symbolic in Buddhism, they represent courage and strength."

About the Artist
As an American exploring issues of identity, artist Candice Eisenfeld paints through the lens of the first American art movement, the Hudson River School. Rather than depicting a specific locale, Candice’s artwork evokes a sense of place. These "inner landscapes" are invented, and often reference photographs taken during travels in southern Appalachia and the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains. Whether real or imagined, her paintings are influenced by the Dutch Masters, Tonalists, and Chinese painting. Produced on a single wooden panel, the ethereal landscapes are often joined with segments of aqueous color fields which act as commentary for the landscapes, like the chorus in a Greek play. The crisp, hard edges separating the landscapes from the color fields command a sense of order in an otherwise fluid and painterly surface. With two or three sections of the panel competing for attention, the painting creates multiple focal points. Candice's art has been displayed in embassies in Namibia and Belarus, held in the collections of Norwest Bank and Northwest Airlines...

A paper crane flies among a flock of birds against a dusky warm gradient. "The title of this work, 'This Is Not a Flock of Birds,' is a nod to Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte," shares artist Candice Eisenfeld. She takes pleasure in letting her viewers create their own meanings inspired by her work.

Power lines extend into the fog, creating a quiet landscape that merges the chaos of human creation and the calmness of nature. Isolated from the noise of the modern world and moments of reflection, utility poles support the electrical veins of society within a calm, natural setting. Opposite realities can coexist, creating beauty in the spaces where they meet. The artwork has a matte, low-sheen finish, which allows clear viewing in various lighting conditions.

"Part of the meditation process is to allow your mind to clear, follow a journey, and allow thoughts to pass through," says artist Candice Eisenfeld. "The vertical, thin section in the middle is an abstracted version of the landscape, it is varnished while the other parts have no gloss. This process was done to illustrate how our perceptions of the world and experiences can change, and how we can recognize these lenses to achieve clarity. The left side depicts peaceful, floating, abstracted thoughts."

Candice was deeply inspired after a visit to Yellowstone National Park. The central landscape image was created using a photographic transfer method while the landscapes on either side were created with paint applications. "The abstracted compositional areas serve as windows or doors to memories, to secrets, to hidden worlds," Candice says.

Artist Candice Eisenfeld presents a painting within a painting emanating warmth and light from the middle. "These paintings are meant to explore levels of meaning as they connect our personal experiences to a world severely distanced from ourselves," states Candice. Her interest lies in understanding what is at the core of human nature—desire, curiosity, love, and hope. "It is narrating a personal archeology of the id while simultaneously relating to other people what is timelessly universal."

Artist Candice Eisenfeld draws inspiration from the silhouetted trees of the rainforests of Northern Georgia. "One early morning as the fog was clearing, a hawk guided me through the mountains," shares Candice. "The hawk led me through ethereal, meditative places with overwhelming beauty." She took photographs of her journey and painted her experiences of the adventure. "The bottom image depicts the rough, beginning of the journey and the scene portrays the ending. The rough, orange texture denotes the bark of the trees."
