According to Elyse, using bold strokes creates a more dynamic feel to her paintings: “For me, it creates a more energetic feel when swipes of paint slide through one another, catch and meld to bring out a subtle color blend, and in the wake leaves the high relief and impression of my brush’s intentional path,” she writes.

With nature being a common theme throughout her work, this dynamic quality also highlights the vibrancy and spirit that is imbued in a natural setting. “It’s definitely trickier to prevent colors from muddling in this approach, but the reward is that of a painted flower vibrating a bit more on the canvas,” says Elyse.

In one series, Elyse focuses on a meadow that is awash with color. Painted with acrylic on wood canvas panel, Elyse explains such paintings are meant to be a snapshot of one small patch of a broader meadow.

“I generally paint them in multiples so the canvases get scattered along a wall and the whole of them is understood in combination with the space between them,” she notes.

As it turns out, natural themes come quite naturally to Elyse, having been brought up surrounded by nature. “Nature has always been a great influence in my life,” she says. “I grew up surfing, found out a few years back I had a lineage in the floral industry reaching back to my great grandfather in Holland.”

Her paintings are a great addition to any feed, especially this spring.

Originally from Seattle, but currently based in Portland, Shu’s is naturally inspired by her surroundings, as well as the changing seasons. “I’ve always been obsessed with plants,” she admitted in a recent interview with Bridge & Burn, explaining that her mom is an amazing gardener and she basically grew up in the garden.

“The seasonal changes here provide constant muse-material and I always have my eye on what’s popping up around us,” she adds, “whether it’s in my garden, my neighbor’s garden, or the farmers market.” According to Shu, when it comes to her fruit paintings those tend to reflect the fruit she was eating that season. “Same goes for flowers,” she adds, “I am truly amazed when I look at flowers like how does something that cool exist?”

With so much excitement, it comes as no surprise that her work is as positive and delightful as Shu’s outlook on life. Her vitality is well needed these unsettling days. “I try to bring color into people’s lives,” says Shu. “Especially in the winters here, we need more color! So I hope to give people a burst of energy when they look at the colorful work that I have painted.”

“The usage of pointillism, metallic appearances, sacred geometry and meditative flow guide my expedition towards creating my own galaxy,” explains Arevalo on her website. Most of her paintings are organized around the traditional mandala (circle in Sanskrit) — a shape imbued in symbolism that is understood as a spiritual tool.

“I’ve started to paint the evolution of different species and as I mostly work with the mandalic shape,” Arevalo further explained in an interview with the DUFMOD blog. “I use the mandala’s different orbits to represent the evolution of organisms as the mandala keeps on growing, as an eternal evolving spiral.”

According to Arevalo, through her Amazonian heritage, she embraces the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom. Those teach her that by observing nature one can notice that there is no real separateness and the whole universe is connected as a one. Techniques such as finite subdivision rules, cartography, acuity enhancement, and symmetrical repetition are the building blocks of Arevalo’s work which, according to her, also have a meditative quality.

“For me the best way to keep on growing and making things happen is by focusing on what you have today,” says Arevalo, “using those tools in your advantage and make the best out of it. If you don’t have an art studio start on the floor next to your bed or the kitchen table.”

An endless explorer, his illustrations are immersed in greenery, providing a summery backdrop to our gloomy winter days. “I have lots of influences,” admitted the Australian artist. “I think my design background gave me an appreciation for people like Ray and Charles Eames, Charley Harper, Bruno Munari and other designers from the ’60s, but these days I’ve branched out a lot with my influences. I really enjoy the paintings of David Hockney, Peter Doig, Fred Williams, and Adrian Genie, as well as folk artists and other illustrators.”

But whatever she does, she makes sure her work is informed by her love of nature. “It is important for me to surround myself with flowers and plants,” she once told the Flow blog, explaining that being surrounded by plants makes you kinder to yourself, your home, and to nature.

“And it doesn’t have to be an expensive treat either,” she stresses, adding that “you can often buy just two or three tall, elegant blooms or even pick yourself a wild bouquet from the roadside. You can also adopt unwanted plants that people have left out on the street, or get them through an online marketplace. And how about taking cuttings from the plants you already own – have you ever tried that?”

But even if you don’t adopt unwanted plants, you can still admire her work via Instagram, which helps to promote kindness towards nature just as well. Take a look at some highlights from her feed:

“Moving to Switzerland in 2010 rekindled my admiration for the beauty and complexity of the natural world, which I first discovered as a child by wandering the woodlands and prairies of my native Minnesota,” wrote Buck on her website.

She soon devised a plan: to preserve this natural beauty by launching an online herbarium. This herbarium – a collection of preserved plant specimens – would be shared through her blog and Instagram page. And so the freshly pressed project was born.

Now, years later, and having moved back to Minnesota, her herbarium spans both Switzerland and the US. “In 2019 I brought the freshly pressed project back with me to Minnesota, where I continue to collect, press, and add to my herbarium collection,” she explained. “It has been an adventure in rediscovering the species from my childhood, which I now view with a new appreciation.”

It is an adventure you too can appreciate by following her social media pages.

“When I was younger I wasn’t interested in nature at all, plants were these horrible demanding things and I even killed a cactus at one point,” she admitted in an interview with Life in Maastricht. “Now nature has become this wonderful thing in my life that gives me instant gratification.”

“When I walk through the forest, nature keeps surprising me with hidden beauty, waiting to be found by whoever wants to take the time to appreciate it,” she gushes. “It’s the ideal place to clear your head and let the surroundings take over.”

Whether it’s small as a flower in bloom or as big as the ever-changing colors in the sky, Olislagers immerses herself in nature and finds endless beauty and inspiration within it. Here are some highlights from her Instagram page:

“It was an experiment to take urban art and move it from the streets to a natural landscape,” Ches shared on Bored Panda. “In our world, plastic is a big problem and a lot of animals suffer from plastic pollution caused by people but in my artwork animals and plastic exist together. I paint most of my artwork during the events or in the parks and later remove all the plastic wrap for recycling.”

You can find Ches’ artwork on his Instagram account where he has attracted over 91.5 thousand followers.

Based in the rural village of Upper Moutere, in New Zealand, Woods’ home is surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and country gardens, making for the ultimate artistic setting.

Partly trained and mostly self-taught, she has learned her craft through the work itself. “Coming to stitch as a mixed media artist I have taught myself a variety of embroidery techniques which probably don’t follow traditional embroidery guides but work for the kind of mark making I enjoy creating,” she writes on her website.

“Stitched Paintings is the term I use to describe my style of work,” she adds. “The process flows like this: I paint blank pieces of linen in abstract washes then add botanical, illustrative details in with acrylic paint or gouache or ink, finally I add texture through stitch.”

Her completed works deserve a closer look.

The intricate sculptures mimic the textures, unique shapes and vivid colors of corals. They are then covered with glass bell jars, that communicate to viewers how they should be isolated in order to prevent them from harm caused by humans.

Bourgine believes that changes have to be made in the ways we treat the environment. If not, life underwater could die out completly by the next thirty years.
