Original artwork description:

In this 90x90cm acrylic on canvas, artist Kirsty Wain offers a stunning, expressive interpretation of an olive tree at sunset in the historic town of Altea. The central tree, ancient and full of character, pulses with movement and life, its twisting trunk painted in fiery tones of red, orange, violet, and magenta. Wain uses exaggerated, flowing brushstrokes to highlight the tree’s texture and age, while the layered leaves shimmer in striking blues and purples, capturing the play of dusk light against the foliage.
The background evokes the Mediterranean landscape with bold abstraction, rolling green hills, distant purple mountains, and a field of pinks and reds under a luminous sky. The foreground bursts with energetic greens and dotted whites, suggesting wild undergrowth and rocky soil. Wain’s palette and dynamic composition transform a serene sunset scene into a vibrant visual rhythm, celebrating nature, color, and the soulful beauty of Altea’s olive groves. This work blends emotional intensity with the calm of a fading day.
