The Journey of Gianna
Meet the Artist
I grew up in Stellenbosch, South Africa, surrounded by stunning mountains and vineyards but moved to Scotland which is also strikingly beautiful.
I enjoy using colour in my work and often contrast light with shadows. The colours, shades and forms around me are continually an inspiration for my work. I mainly work in acrylic and ink.
​
I have painted a range of subjects over the years, but my more recent work includes seascapes, landscapes and anything that grabs my attention. I have recently started sketching in ink and acrylic and am so enjoying exploring the medium!
​
It makes me smile to know some of my artworks have been shipped overseas and hopefully continue to bring joy to their buyers in France, Netherlands and Australia amongst others.
​
Please send me a message if you are interested in any of the artworks (original or print) or would like to commission an artwork. I am more than happy to take on commissions!
Artistry
I am inspired by the stunning scenery (light, colours, details and textures) around me and aim to capture some of that 'beautiful' in my art. I love to show the wonder of light in my artworks and also enjoy adding splashes of colour.
When painting, I use paintbrushes, painting knives and predominantly work on hardboard which allows for interesting textures.
