The Truth Seeker is a large semi-abstract autumn forest inspired landscape which is multicoloured and appears to glow in certain lights! 40x40 inches. The painting was made by building several layers of vibrant paint showing trees and leaves and a gold path which leads to an exit beyond. A stag can be seen on the right waiting for the viewer to find whatever wonders are at the end of the path (insert own proposal here). Many of the colours are transparent and laid in verticals which give the painting an ethereal, otherworldly feeling. As a keen walker I often fantasize I will find a portal to elsewhere when entering woodland. I am not alone in feeling the atmosphere in trees which can be welcoming, happy, odd and sometimes even sinister. The deer stag is there as deer are often seen as spiritual guides and he is therefore the right creature to be there. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

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.
