Still remains - Ancient ruins of Ephesus

This realistic colour pencil piece captures an off-the-beaten-path portion of the ancient ruins of Ephesus.

The strong cool shadows cast by crumbling columns as the morning sun arises, bring to mind the feeling of fresh air bouncing off marbled ruins.

It reminds you of the surreal feeling you get when you touch your hand on the same architecture someone who lived thousands of years before you would have touched.

A window into the remains of someone else's mundane, their everyday happenings, social life, politics, religion, and all the things that have been and gone and led to today.

I called this piece 'Still remains' because Ephesus is 'still', no longer the hive of activity it once was, but it also 'still remains' in that it still remains for us to visit, to walk, to imagine.

This large piece makes a brilliant colourful addition to any wall and would suit any decor.

“I choose my subjects like I choose my food: I’ll have a little of everything”

Candace is a drawing artist living on Australia’s Gold Coast. She is best known for her diverse subjects and detailed works that catch the eye. Primarily working with colour pencil and graphite, Candace specialises in expressing realism through her technique.

Her art’s ability to capture realistic detail and captivate and move emotions resulted in her piece ‘This is not a drill’ being announced the winner of the 2020 Art Lovers Australia Prize.

Candace’s work is often inspired by something offbeat, situations of everyday life or from her travels. Some pieces tell a clear story, others allow the viewer to derive their own meaning and connection. Being unencumbered by set themes and subjects allows her to create something truly unique to the occasion.

She has been told she is “down-to-earth” in her creative approach and talents. She welcomes the description as she firmly believes art skills are attainable by anyone. “It takes dedication, hard work and practice, rather than wishful thinking and an artsy-fartsy smock!”
