Eos Illumina 🔴

“Eos Illumina”

120 x 100 cm
Acrylics & Milos beach sand & small rocks on 3D canvas

 The inspiration for this piece stemms back to Montanas workation on the island of Milos, Greece. Upon arrival she was inspired by a terracotta rock formation that was so magically lit by the sun, that it appeared to be lit from within. The painting holds the same textures, colours and feeling.  This nature inspiration is therefore also where the name for this painting came from; Eos being the greek goddess of dawn, who arises to bring light to the world.

This work is a unique, one-of-one painting by Montana Engels, created entirely through her signature hand-painted stripe technique. Through carefully painted lines, the image appears abstract up close and gradually resolves into detail as the viewer steps back.
