Sheila Szabototh Artist's photostream

My artistic inspiration comes from my interest and enjoyment, over the last 20 years, as an amateur astronomer and my love of wooded landscapes that I encounter and touch through camping, canoeing and hiking.

“My art work displays, on canvas and in public, a part of my deep and sometimes demented soul, my turbulently flowing flood of emotions - raw in rough form. I paint with fiery passion providing me with an outlet to express my inner being which I am unable to do with the written word.

At the time of creation, each piece represents my dance with nature, frozen-in-time, and the way in which I was softly caressed by inspiration. "In The Moment" is the deep relationship I strive to paint and the relationship I offer the viewer to experience.

When admiring an oil painting I am the most excited about how the bold, deep flowing brush strokes of colour (impasto textures) have a soul existence and are the brain of the painting that speaks to me to convey the emotions of the displayed subject.

I've experienced melting into colours and feeling the loneliness of viridian green, the waving and upset alizarin crimson, the throbbing energetic lemon yellow and the love and caring traits of phthalo blue. My art is not unlike a performance of the universal language - music.

I hope you, the viewer, enjoy my interpretations of nature and are touched in some way by my work by connecting with the feelings and senses it produces within you.” ~ Sheila Szabototh
