Belinda Nadwie creates abstracted landscapes that traverse emotional, psychological and spiritual experience.
Working with oil paint, charcoal, spray paint and oil crayons, she captures a spectrum of moods – from quiet, melancholy moments of indigo and teal to swathes of Persian pink and saffron. The viewer can choose where they sit in this vast spectrum of emotion; whether they gravitate towards the darkness or the light.
The artist paints intuitively without preconception, each work reading like a painterly stream of consciousness, a reflection upon her inner world and the evocative tones of the Australian landscape. Her paintings capture a fleeting moment in time, portraying the mood and the inspiration of that particular moment of inspiration. The artworks come together spontaneously in a colourful union of light, colour and texture.
“Colour and balance are my passion,” says Nadwie. “My expressions are all feeling–based.”
Although the works are predominantly non-representational, there are moments in which physical landscapes manifest across the canvas.
‘Stillness’ captures a quiet, dreamlike moment where lilies seem to float between light and shadow. Soft, layered brushstrokes blur the boundary between form and atmosphere, inviting the viewer into a space of calm reflection. The painting’s gentle movement and muted palette create a sense of serenity that lingers long after you look away.
