Kirsty Wain (XX) - The Grapevine I - No Reserve

Rendered in a Fauvist and Post-Impressionist tradition, the artwork captures heavy, sun-drenched clusters of ripe indigo and violet grapes cascading from twisting woody vines. Set against a bright turquoise and sky-blue backdrop, the energetic composition combines rhythmic brushwork, deep jewel tones, and electric lime foliage to evoke the abundance and warmth of a Mediterranean harvest.

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.

´ I love colour. I love nature. I love art. Together, they are my language. ´ K Wain 2025
