Description from the seller
Artist: Kirsty Wain
Title: Ancient Chestnut, Galicia
Year: 2026
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 70 x 90 cm
Signature: Hand-signed by the artist on the front ("Wain 26")
Condition: Excellent, directly from the artist’s studio
This original oil painting by Kirsty Wain captures an ancient, gnarled chestnut tree in the lush countryside of Galicia, Spain. Executed in a dynamic Neo-Impressionistic style, the work features expressive, gestural brushwork that brings movement, texture, and light to the scene. Wain uses a vibrant, luminous palette contrasting rich, twisted bark textures with bright emerald leaves, sunlit stone ruins in the background, and warm, expressive pink and golden earth tones. The organic shapes of the ancient trunk create a bold focal point, celebrating the timeless natural heritage of Northern Spain.
Border: Includes an additional 5 cm unpainted canvas border around all sides (total canvas size approx. 80 x 100 cm) to allow for easy stretching on a wooden stretcher frame or framing.
Signature: Hand-signed and dated by the artist in the bottom right front.
Condition: Excellent / New direct from the artist’s studio.
Note: Any images showing the artwork framed are mock-ups for illustrative purposes; the painting is sold unframed.

About the Artist
Kirsty Wain is a British painter currently living and working in Spain. Deeply connected to the Mediterranean landscape, her work offers an expressive, emotive interpretation of the surrounding environment. Drawing strong inspiration from Post-Impressionism and the bold colour theory of Fauvism, Wain uses vibrant hues, textured application, and fluid line work to capture the intrinsic energy, spirit, and light of a location. Her paintings, frequently focused on ancient olive groves, hillside pines, and sweeping terrains—seek to translate fleeting personal moments and deep emotional ties to place directly onto the canvas.
Wain’s distinct visual language continues to gain international visibility, and her paintings are held in private collections around the world.
