A Moment in Time BY AMANDA HORVATH, Abstract Landscape Paintings, Bright Art

About the Item

Amanda Horvath A Moment in Time Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas Acrylics on canvas Image size: 76cmx76cmx3.5cms Sold Unframed A Moment in Time is an original painting by Amanda Horvath. It is inspired by some beautiful woods close to my home in the Peak District. This is a peaceful place and I often walk here taking my sketchbook. Light filters through the leaves creating dramatic shadows over the forest floor where grasses and flowers grow in abundance, expressed by abstract marks in the foreground and you can imagine the scent of flowers on the breeze. An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. I paint some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife, creating a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang. Amanda Horvath is a contemporary artist who is influenced by the woods and moors of her home in the Peak District. Achieving a B A Hons (first class) in fine art Amanda went on to lecture in painting and printmaking. Now working full time as an artist from her studio her paintings are informed by the wild landscapes of her home. Renowned for forest scenes Amanda’s paintings are full of colour, texture and contrast, with an emphasis on delicate light effects and dramatic shadows. “I have a close connection to the natural world and painting is a response to the beautiful landscape, I attempt to capture the spirit of the land and the ethereal quality of light filtering through woodlands. Through my work I hope to impart the sense of peace and meditative calm I feel in these quiet places. This affinity with nature has grown from childhood and my past experiences” An important part of the creative process is to be absorbed in nature, so it begins with walking in the landscape making preliminary notes. These form the foundations of the work translated onto canvas in the studio. Harnessing some optical mixing techniques the paintings are created with layer upon layer of highly textured paint, worked expressively using palette knives and brushes, which results in paintings that lie somewhere between abstraction and realism. Her work has found homes with private collectors worldwide.
