Artist Comments
This abstract painting reveals a striking play of warm and cool tones layered in rich oil paint. At the center, a rugged shape emerges, a volcano merging with an ancient tree set against a fiery sky. The scene feels alive with movement, suggesting both the power and fragility of nature. Beneath its intensity lies a quiet sense of triumph, where hope breaks through the weight of struggle.

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.
