About the Item

This painting is an abstract landscape on canvas featuring vibrant and dark layers of green, yellow, orange and blue. Katherine Sandoz is inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis, Vincent Van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Neil Welliver. Katherine Sandoz’s recent series of paintings “uhuru” draws upon the layered landscape, language, and native flora of Maui, but contains its own version of physics. Beyond their painted plies, skewed shapes and transparent botanicals, these works situate the viewer in hardened lava, inside caves and on cliffs of falling rock, crouched beneath the mass of 2,400 miles of ocean in every direction. The paintings say, “we are the smallest and nature is vast,” stretching out to our first beginnings and our last endings. Here, the governing principle is a tenet unique to Hawaiian cosmology: the land is the first genealogical ancestor of its people. Aloha ʻāina (love of the land) integrates science, society and spirituality, making us duty-bound to serve, love and honor the land. These paintings are receipts of the mystery, depth, power and beauty of Maui Nui and her seven shield volcanoes. Katherine utilizes multiple passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers of water-based media, creating dynamic compositions allowing the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once. She holds an MFA in Painting and MFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was Professor of Illustration from 1997 to 2005. She has been living and working in Savannah since the mid-1990s.

Finding Balance - Tranquil Colorful Abstract Painting
Located in Los Angeles, CA
The original artworks by Canadian artist Julie Naima feature visually appealing abstract compositions with organic shapes that evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity. The harmonious interplay of a few carefully selected colors, and their varied shades, create a nuanced visual experience that is both calming and invigorating. Crafted in a contemporary and modern style, her paintings are infused with a touch of refinement and artistic flair. The use of organic shapes creates a sense of natural flow and movement, while the balanced color palette adds a level of sophistication to the overall design. This one-of-a-kind abstract painting on canvas measures 48 inches in height and 40 inches in width. The sides of the artwork are thoughtfully painted in a complementary shade of blue, eliminating the need for framing and creating a cohesive, finished look. The painting is wired and ready to hang, making it a hassle-free addition to any wall. It's signed by the artist on both the side and back, adding an extra touch of authenticity and value. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with the artwork, ensuring that the piece is an authentic work of art from Julie Naima. Julie Naima is an accomplished artist originally from Montreal, Canada, who currently resides in a tranquil rural town, removed from the frenetic pace of city life. Her creative process is characterized by experimentation, having explored various techniques and media, such as fluid paints, flowy inks, epoxy resin, collage, and mixed media. However, Naima has since returned to exclusively working with acrylics on canvas, with a particular focus on color. Through this dedication, Naima has discovered that colorful abstract art, imbued with positive emotions and good intentions, is what resonates most with her. Naima's impressive body of work can be found in many private collections across Canada, Europe, Australia, and the United States, attesting to the universality of her artistic vision. Her unique use of color and form imbues her abstract works with a sense of energy and dynamism, evoking a wide range of emotions in viewers.
