Artwork Description

Robin in Native Frangipani by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour and gouache painting. It measures 21cm x 28cm and is unframed.

There's a favourite place overlooking the beach, where I will often be lucky to see Robins and Wrens. This Eastern Yellow Robin came quite close so it was extra special. He is sitting in Native Frangipani which has white and yellow blooms and a lovely fragrance too.

I've created the background in watercolour and the Robin, leaves and flowers are mainly in gouache, which is slightly thicker watercolour paint.

Every painting is protected in a clear cello wrap and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is sent in a flat pack through Australia Post, fully insured with a signature required upon receipt.

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.
