International artist CLARE SYKES buzzes with passion and energy and takes inspiration for her incredibly vivid images from just about everything that surrounds her - from the air she breaths to the sparkle of the sea near her home on the South Coast of England.
Passion, texture and expressive free movement are the defining features of Clare’s work. The passion in her soul transforms the image of something simple - a flower perhaps - into a visual work of art full of positivity and colour. As an “Organic Texturilist” Clare uses the Impasto Technique by sweeping acrylic paint across her canvasses, allowing light to create a chiaroscuro effect of shades. She encourages the paint to flow naturally and then manipulates it into captivating and colourful compositions. Magically, the finished images combine Clare’s passion with a calming aura of serenity.
