The Air that I Breathe (2023)Acrylic painting by Amanda Horvath

This painting evokes a sense of peace and tranquillity, capturing the quiet beauty of a secluded forest. It invites the viewer to wander toward a serene spot where sunlight filters through the trees, casting a soft, misty glow over woodland flowers. Within this sunlit sanctuary, a feeling of refuge and calm emerges—bringing a soothing, restorative presence to any home it graces.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
