120 x 100 cm Acrylics, Maledives beach sand and sea shells on canvas
Terra is painted with in a soft terracotta colour with sand and shells from the Maldives. From up close the painting looks abstract with an earthy feeling to it. Rough sand, tiny shells, grain texture and sandpaper feel. But when looking at it further it becomes an ever so elegant painting with a calm and grounding feel to it. The contrast of the painting up close compared to the painting from a distance makes it mesmerizing.
The painting is a one-of-a-kind, hand painted stripes painting by Montana Engels.
Special about the technique is that Montana invented this way of painting and that when looking at it up close it looks abstract while the further you move away from the painting, the MORE detailed it gets.
