Mistral 🔴

“Mistral”

170 x 150 cm
Acrylics & Mauritius beach sand and shells on canvas

The inspiration for this piece came the breezy beach of Mauritius, an island, close to Montana’s heart. Incorporating Maurtitius beach sand and shells into the paint, Montana allows the viewer to ‘feel’ with their eyes. In Mistral, Montana captures the calm and serene feeling of the Maurtitius beach overlooking the crystal clear water and endless ocean view. A nude, with a calming effect on the viewer and endless gaze in her eyes, which follows you in any space.

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.
