Act of Creation is a large colourful oil painting of a beautiful alpine landscape exploding out of the canvas led by three rebel swallows. The scene could be Austria, Norway or Scotland as these three places are among the most inspiring landscapes I have ever been to. The purpose of painting it was to try and capture the idea of creation. I believe that everyone carries their own universe around inside their own mind and that they can therefore create rival universes to the material one that our bodies live in. This is a bit of my universe. I started with a dark background and then began to paint the scene from the centre outwards. It shows a hut (where I want to live), a lake, hills, trees, wildflower meadow and then the swallows who are leading the way. Swallows are very much symbols of freedom and are just so beautiful that I keep coming back to them. This is dedicated to all the musicians, writers, dreamers and artists who are creating beautiful things for the rest of us. Life would be meaningless without you. This painting is 40x40x1.5inches, white edges, ready to hang.

Gill Bustamante, a contemporary British painter, is renowned for her distinctive artistry that breathes life into large semi-abstract oils on canvas, drawing inspiration from the wonders of nature. Specializing in creating expansive semi-abstract landscape, seascape, and wildlife paintings, Gill has carved out a unique style that seamlessly blends art-nouveau, impressionist, and semi-abstract techniques with a touch of traditional portraiture. Her artistic vision is deeply rooted in a profound love for nature, animals, birds, and the rich flora and fauna that grace the landscapes surrounding her.

Central to Gill's creative process is a method she terms 'memory impressionism.' This approach involves immersing herself in nature, going for walks to observe and absorb the essence of the landscapes, and then returning to her studio to translate those experiences onto canvas. The result is a collection of artworks that capture the echoes and essences of the places she explores, often including the wildlife encountered during her walks. This distinctive method allows Gill to convey the feelings and impressions she has about these locations, offering viewers a glimpse into the profound connection she shares with the natural world. Gill Bustamante's artistic focus extends to the ancient landscapes of England, and her paintings frequently reflect the spiritual elements inherent in such revered locales.
