Elements by Claire Smith

Claires’ work is inspired by light and colour on the landscape, and the abstract qualities they create. Her work places the viewer in a dreamlike landscape of pure light, texture and shapes. A space to breath.

The juxtaposition between the sky and the foreground is a regular feature, prompting a sense of calm contemplation.  Presenting the viewer with familiar scenes from distinct perspectives, Claire’s work explores the familiar with a sense of novelty.

Claire says:

“Employing layers of colour I want to recreate the interplay between the landscape, light and seasons, bringing the illusion of depth to the two-dimensional surface.”
