Nirvana 3Limited edition print Paper Print 
by Deborah Jones

The original artwork is with The London Art Exchange and was shown at my solo show Gilded Wilderness in March, in Soho Square.

Nirvana 3 was shown at my solo show at The Hyde Gallery, London W4 in September 2023 and The Other Art Fair, London March 2023 with Saatchi Art.

Nirvana 3 was painted for a feature wall on my stand at The Other Art Fair London 2023.

I wanted the piece to be of a heavenly setting, where the viewer is taken to a calm & tranquil state.

Nirvana - a state of freedom from sorrow & happiness but also an ideal or idyllic place.

I like to work on a large scale, to give me freedom of space & composition. Creating flowing fish & bold lily pads contrasting with the subtle wash of green water.

I poured washes of water mixable oil over the canvas, then moved the oil in a way to simulate the flow and movement of natural water. My passion for painting koi comes from living near beautiful lakes with carp ponds nearby. Koi are a symbol of good luck & spiritual abundance.

The colour pallet that I use for my artwork is influenced by current colour trends in interiors and also inspired by nature.
