Underwater Dream, stunning paintings by Emma Barone, contemporary visual artist

Underwater Dream is a series of paintings based on the idea of how being underwater can distort, enhance and ultimately change one’s perspective. The physical action of being underwater transports me to a different dimension where the internal sensation and field of vision can only be expressed through the process of art. I can then capture these sensations through my work. Emotions such as happiness, exhilaration, breathlessness, fear, floating, flying is evident throughout. Some of my work already has underwater characteristics. I’m finding a mirror image between sea and sky, bedrock and seabed. I have explored and developed this aquatic landscape in terms of origin, process and objective.

All Emma’s work is connected, People know her for her unique style of painting.

Strong colours, imagery and the way that they amalgamate are consistent in all her work, past and present. Elements of trees, water, space, sky, geometry and the microcosm of nature weren’t intentional, they just appeared in the paintings as if there was a higher power at work. Her inspiration comes from actually doing the work not to mention the magic bits and the colour combinations and the way it all works together in creative harmony.

As she progresses and changes, her work changes, but it always seems to know where it’s going.
