"Wordscape" is a figurative painting created from one reader to another—those who immerse themselves in books, for whom a book is the most captivating tool of augmented reality. All it takes is a glance at the ink on paper, and you're transported far away to different realms of the mind.
This vibrant painting came into being almost by accident. In early summer, I had an urge to paint summery landscapes. I painted three pieces as part of the 'Summer Pastures' series. In the other two, I painted a figure over the landscape, but in this third one, no character seemed to fit. So, I abandoned that plan and got the idea to execute this artwork the other way around: the summer landscape became the inner world of the character.
