Studies in Nature by Gea Zwart

En plein air means drawing and painting outdoors

Nature is my studio. In nature, I seek inspiration and study light, movement, growth, and change. I translate these observations to my abstract work, which includes wall sculptures made of recycled plexiglass and large-scale paintings.

Since 2017, I have been working outdoors from time to time. Outdoors, I create drawings and paintings that are also available as standalone original works at my studio.

Metaphors
Metaphors for the way we live are abundant in nature. Mobility that I look for in my art.

Studying outside is great.
Especially because of the constantly changing circumstances. Weather. How the light changes through the day and in the seasons. Movements of wind on the water and in trees. Cycles of growth, flowering, decay and rest.

Nature lover
Nature is an endless source of inspiration and a reflection of our inner selves. Wherever I am, I see nature. Fragmented in the city. Gardens as a private oasis with hidden places. On a journey, rugged nature to lose yourself in, overwhelming and wide.
