Portfolio: 7 Artists Painting the World

On a continuous quest for inspiration, artists often find the best way to engage with places they encounter on their travels is to paint them.

By immersing themselves in the landscape, they experience it on a more profound level, absorbing its colors, textures, and moods, so they can better translate their observations and feelings to the painting surface.

Ultimately, the work represents a visual dialogue between the artists, the environment, and the viewers, bridging the gap between distant places and diverse cultures, and inviting others to connect with the unique beauty of landscapes around the world.

  1. There is no more perfect apparatus than the human eye, which God created. And the benefit and joy that a person experiences from the plein air is obvious.
