Beginnings at Kalalau, Abstract Oil Painting

2022

Artist Comments
An abstract seascape with soft colors in the sky suggests the end of a day or perhaps an era. The jagged coastline and thick textures provide a stark contrast to the bright sea and sky. This painting blends chaotic textures and strokes with natural elements in a larger-than-life size.

About the Artist
Artist Lisa Crosby creates layered abstract landscapes through a meticulous and experimental process. She glazes, stamps, paints, draws, sands, and layers to explore colors, shapes, and textures inspired by her memories and surroundings. "I am fascinated by the subtleties of the environment and the interplay between structure and chaos, intuition and preparation, landscape and memory," says Lisa. Her paintings often reflect events from daily life, the intricacies of relationships, and personal experiences, blending concept with emotion. Lisa works from her home studio, surrounded by the tools and materials that enable her exploratory approach. Through her art, she seeks to communicate and connect with viewers, offering immersive experiences within each composition. Outside the studio, she continues to engage with her community and environment, finding inspiration in everyday life.
