Artwork Description

"Vase of Wildflowers" by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting and requires framing to hang.

Wildflowers bring me so much joy! Cut flowers tend to live longer than other varieties and they have a unique rugged beauty of their own. Would you believe Proteas go back 300 million years... this is absolutely fascinating! Although Proteas originate in South Africa, Australia has the largest number of different species of these beautiful flowers, with South Africa coming in second. Leucodendrons also originate in South Africa, but can easily be grown all over the world and the delicate white flowers of Tea Tree add such a feminine touch.

A bunch of these beautiful flowers will brighten up any home, and when not on the table, they can be on your wall.

Mission: I strive to express emotion in my artwork and hope it resonates with you too. I hope that it evokes a positive feeling of joyful peace and that it brightens up a special spot in your home. My style is a combination of looseness and detail, allowing watercolour to do its magic and then adding some detail bringing the subject to life.

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.
