Dana Cowie Art
Canadian, b. 1975
Using an impasto, painterly technique Dana Cowie creates cubist-inspired farm and rural landscapes. Working within controlled color schemes, her artworks appear abstract up close and become more representational as the viewer takes in the larger image. Each stylized color represents shadows and grander forms of perspective that capture a more vibrant experience beyond the minute details of
the subjects she paints.
“I live in a small town and am surrounded by beautiful barns and rolling hills. My
work is a culmination of years of painting in search of a patchwork quilt effect using
thick, expressionist marks. Barns and farmland speak to me as I live in a rural setting and have good friendships with local farmers.
Using classical oils and acrylics and painting on my grandmothers
1940’s easel, I work instantaneously across my canvas, creating layers
of color that overlap as the image emerges.”
Born in 1975, Cowie grew up in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada before enrolling in the visual art program at Central Technical School in Toronto in the 90’s. She has also lived in Japan and Victoria, British Columbia. Her work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows across Canada, in the U.S. and England. She is represented by art galleries in Canada, U.S. and England and is collected world-wide.
Dana’s paintings have been featured in magazines as well, including Style at Home Magazine, House & Garden magazine (UK) and Escarpment Magazine. She lives in Owen Sound, Canada with her family.

REFLECTIONS 1 - Contemporary Atmospheric Landscape, Modern Seascape Painting
By Grzegorz Wójcik
Located in Salzburg, AT
A few words of the artist about his art:
When i painting landscapes, I usually choose simple geometric arrangements, contrasts of verticals and levels. I juxtapose the smooth surface of the sky with the rough texture of earth or grass.
I paint symmetrical reflections in water and rhythmic repetitions of trees. Even an ordinary, seemingly uninteresting fragment of the suburban landscape hides a beauty that I want to see and then transfer to the canvas.
I am inspired by nature because it contains a hidden secret of existence. For me, painting it is a reflection on life and passing away. It is an attempt to capture the imperceptible essence, to paint what cannot be seen.
I think that my paintings can be a respite, an antidote for a man tired of technology, constant rush, hustle and bustle of the city.
