Through an interplay of colours and forms, the artist reflects on the majesty of the sky, the vastness of bodies of water, the ruggedness of cliff faces, and the serenity of rolling countryside.

Sandstorm forms part of artist Jo Dounis’ body of fluid art paintings. The technique allows her to create an organic, flowing effect, virtually devoid of the brushstrokes which would give away the presence of the artist. Fluid art enables the artist to depict natural elements such as water, wind and skies with a convincing and evocative aesthetic, giving the viewer a more direct connection with the subject-matter.

Tender Core is an abstract work depicting a beautiful and tender core protected by a rougher exterior which is present, but in the background. Before vulnerability is exposed, whether in a plant, an animal or in the human world, a certain level of protection from external forces needs to be felt, in order to imbue a sense of security. In this piece, the artist conveys that the feelings and emotions relating to a sense of safety allow that vulnerability to be revealed, tentatively at first, and then more boldly as that sense of security deepens.
