Description This beautiful and unique sea painting is an original signed piece by the artist, Kala. She is a young artist who gained a BA at the University of Arts London. Since graduating she enjoys developing her hobby of painting in her own time. She has previously sold various paintings through the National Trust properties in Surrey England. The sea paintings were the beginning of a collection Kala started which were inspired by her deep sea diving experiences along the east cost of Australia. The medium is acrylic on canvas. Kala describes the work in relation to her experiences under the sea, When I am diving time seems to stop. There is another world under the sea which is full of amazing colour and beauty. I have tried to communicate the sense of space and freedom through my pieces of work. I achieved this by painting scenes I captured on camera and abstracted them to create the surreal dreamlike feeling I experienced. The sea can appear to paint its own picture with its ripples and reflections of colour. I wanted to show this in the paintings by making the waves look like they are transforming into pictures. I also played with the idea that the fish are swimming into the sky, this also adds to the fantasy feeling. The paintings will look fantastic displayed together in a large room as they work so well as a pair. The colours are vibrant and will compliment similar coloured interiors. The paintings are very eye-catching but equally as impressive close up. They contain a lot of detail within the fish which are made up with hundreds of tiny dots. This technique was taken from the traditional aboriginal art in Australia. The paintings measure 30x40.
