Loughborough University, Fine Art BA Hons Graduating 2021 Nature has fascinated artists for centuries but in today’s modern age it seems to have lost its importance, which highlights humankind’s disregard and detachment from it. Through the medium of paint, I have explored the joy experienced in nature and the romantic theme of escapism, discovering a way of returning to nature and evading the complex modernity of urban life, something that is particularly relevant in these unorthodox times. I have been influenced heavily by the romantic movement which fundamentally focuses on an escape from reality through the recovery of a lost Eden and a lost childhood which brings feelings of nostalgia, linking to childhood memories of a freedom to escape into the wilderness. Nature has an association with childhood and therefore often evokes ‘a feeling of great pleasure and happiness’ (Oxford Dictionary, n.d.)
