Artwork Description

Path of Tranquility by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting. It measures 27cm x 37cm and requires framing to hang.

It was my daughter who captured this scene in a park on one of her walks along the coast in Sydney. Late afternoon sunrays filter through the trees and light bounces off the wrought iron fence and greenery growing through the vertical pickets. A walk along a meandering path alternating between rays of light and cooling shade. The path is going somewhere....do you know where?

There are lots of very warm and cool colours in this painting creating a point of balance for the viewer. I chose not to introduce any figures, or birds , just keep it sublimely simple.

Born in 1963 to Slovenian parents, I divided my first 20 years between Australia and Slovenia. My love for art took root in early childhood. I vividly recall the arrival of my first mail-order acrylic paint set and a "How-to-paint" book featuring a classic lesson on painting a fruit bowl. Discouraged from pursuing Art School, I relegated my dreams to a hobby and became self-taught.

At seventeen, during a visit to Switzerland to see a friend, I found myself with only 20 Swiss Francs. I chose to invest half in paper and paints. After painting all night, I sold three paintings the next day, which luckily saved me from a bind.

I've always been drawn to a variety of mediums—oils, acrylics, gouache, pastels, and lately, watercolors. My goal? To capture both light and emotion. I recall as a teenager pondering if paint could be used in such a way that it breathes life into a canvas. This curiosity has stayed with me over time. Each medium offers a unique avenue for self-expression, yet the subtle conveyance of emotion and vitality remains my never-ending challenge and aspiration.

I am inspired by Australia's vast beauty, the diverse landscape, colourful birdlife, amazing flora and fauna! I am mesmerised by the power of the sun and am in awe of great artists both past (Vincent Van Gogh) and present such as Thomas Schwaller and Alvaro Castagnet.
