Linda Press

Painting, Visual / Media

Linda paints vibrant and dynamic scenes in Europe, the United States and around the world. Directly observing from nature, she searches for abstract and expressive elements and paints with energy and gestural flair.
The abstract structure and expressive content are central to their meaning. They are about the spirit that permeates life, transporting the viewer to the specific place painted; to an ambiance where the senses are heightened; to that unique sensation one has where time has a special intensity. Light and shadow set up a counterpoint to the tangible structures in nature and man-made architecture. A sense of history in the architectural detail adds another layer of interest.
