Ebb and flow FRAMED

Original artwork. Impasto ,Oil paint & oil sticks on stretched canvas FRAMED in an oak gallery shadow box frame.  50cm x 50cm.

"Ebb and Flow"  transports the viewer into the hidden depths of a rock pool, symbolising the undercurrents and subtle forces that shape the flow of life. The composition is a mosaic of greens and shades of blue, layered and intertwined like the ever-changing waters and textures found in tidal pools.

Organic shapes ripple across the canvas, suggesting the movement of water over stones, sand, and aquatic life beneath the surface. The swirling forms and patterns evoke a sense of fluidity and constant change, reflecting the natural rhythms of ebbing tides and the unceasing currents of life. The green tones represent the natural elements—seaweed, moss, and marine growth—while the blue shades capture the depth and mystery of water, from tranquil shallows to deeper, darker currents.

This abstract depiction of a rock pool suggests more than just the physical; it hints at the unseen forces that shape us, the currents of experience, and the invisible pull of destiny. The piece invites the viewer to consider the beauty found in these quiet, hidden spaces, where life flows beneath the surface, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent, but always in motion.

Archival matte satin varnish sealer has been applied to this artwork to preserve the integrity of the pigments and materials.

ARTIST BIO
Born and raised initially in the United States, prior to relocating to Australia
during her early childhood, Melbourne contemporary artist Anya Love
produces distinguishing and enigmatic works that interweave abstract and
representational art forms. Balancing innate shapes with highly
conceptualised renderings, these elements are depicted in a state of
beautified distortion to portray themes of interconnectivity, duality and
expansion. Describing a responsive and acclimatised state of existence on
the canvas, and summarising stories that resonate with her internal self, her
works embody these narratives through an intense degree of mark making,
organic gesturing and colour layering.

After acquiring a Diploma in Visual Arts, Anya went on to train in design, prior
too commencing a career in the photography industry. During her fifteen-year
tenure, she spent considerable time styling and methodically executed the
expression of form and composition. These experiences have since become
a resounding force behind the works she presently produces, and
photography remains an integral component of her creative process as she
shoots each independent layer of each work.

Remaining unbound to a single artistic methodology, she instead directs her focus largely towards the
emotional sensations that naturally materialise throughout the
developmental process. Her works are frequently rotated during their
creation to ensure each phase is worked on from four distinct perspectives,
with the final orientation revealing itself in the work’s concluding stages.

Anya currently accepts commissions and creates her works full-time inside her
Melbourne-based studio.
