This original, eye-catching work is an acrylic on paper painting by contemporary artist Kirsty Wain. It captures the essence of a sun-drenched pine woodland near Altea, on Spain's Costa Blanca, transformed by the artist's bold use of color. Vibrant and Expressive: The painting features a grove of pine trees rendered in striking, unnatural colours, deep magentas, vivid reds, electric yellows, and rich purples. This deliberate palette creates a dynamic, almost fauvist, interpretation of the landscape. Energetic Brushwork: The artist uses confident, swirling strokes to define the ground and the texture of the tree trunks, imbuing the scene with a sense of heat and movement reminiscent of a midday Mediterranean sun. Medium and Style: Executed in high-quality acrylic on thick paper, the work has a fluid, painterly quality. It is a perfect statement piece for a collector who appreciates contemporary art, expressive landscapes, and color-intensive works. Inspired by a walk through the woodlands above Altea, the work moves beyond pure representation to capture the feeling of the Spanish landscape—the intense light, the unique shapes of the Iberian pine trunks, and the dazzling contrast between the terracotta-colored earth and the crisp blue sky. Provenance: Directly acquired from the artist's studio. A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by Kirsty Wain will be included. Shipping: The painting will be professionally packaged, insured, and shipped flat or carefully rolled in a sturdy art tube (depending on buyer location and preference) to guarantee its safe arrival.
