Jared - Natures power - XL

Jared Jones, born 1968 Swansea, Wales now lives and works in Andalucia, Spain. Self taught as a painter drawing on his experience of having achieved a bachelors degree in photography, Maidstone college of art and design and a Masters degree in computer animation at Bournemouth university.

The golden light of the setting sun bathes the scene in a warm amber light which is captured in the clouds and steam rising driven by the swirling winds driven by the intense heat of the violent eruption. Emphasizing the lights play of shadows and darkness, ambience and atmosphere, using multiple layers to create depth and mood, the composition invites the onlooker to circle around the central focal point like the steam flowing around the mountain.


The painting offers bold and loose brush strokes along with specific details to give depth and clarity and is painted on canvas in oils. The canvas is stretched on canvas so it cannot be rolled and the edges are also painted so can be hung without a frame.

Other works by the artist have been exhibited and sold locally in Andalucia and also internationally via online sales.
