This painting depicts figures swimming in a prussian blue, saturated sky filled with dramatic white clouds with lilac and periwinkle blue highlights and framed by lush vegetation in olive green, sandy brown and black. It is inspired by the magical realist art movement and aims to immerse the viewer in a surreal and magical landscape. This painting forms part of a series of works which capture momentary encounters with nature. They elevate ordinary elements, drawing a closer focus to their existence, their form, their beauty, encouraging viewers to take a closer look at the nature that surrounds them. Glaze medium has been used to build translucency and depth of colour, resulting in luminous, jewel-bright colours and glossy highlights on key areas. As part of her working process, Kate immerses herself in nature, photographing what she finds. She then uses Photoshop as a means of sketching and experimenting with composition, before finally using oil paint as an emotive and expressive vehicle to create the finished work.
