NATALY KENNY - Painting light, colour and hope
I am a contemporary Impressionist and Abstract Artist creating original oil and acrylic paintings inspired by the changing light, colour, and atmosphere of the ever-changing natural world.
MY VISION
I believe that when we create, we connect to our soul and express our unique vision of the world, which brings joy and harmony to the viewer. Painting is healing for both, the creator and the viewer.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My art explores the ever-changing relationship between light, colour, and emotion. I am inspired by the magical beauty of the natural world. Whether close to home or further afield, each landscape offers a new dialogue between light, colour, and atmosphere that I seek to capture in my paintings.
I work primarily in oils, while also exploring acrylics, gouache, and soft pastels, I draw inspiration from Impressionism and abstraction to express not only the visible beauty of nature but also the emotions and memories it awakens.
Light is at the heart of my work. I am fascinated by its ability to transform colour, shape, and mood, revealing beauty in even the simplest moments. Through expressive landscapes and emotive portraits, I seek to create paintings that evoke joy, harmony, hope, and a sense of connection with the natural world.
The work of Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Sorolla, Sargent, and Zorn has profoundly influenced my artistic journey. Their mastery of light and colour continues to inspire my own search for atmosphere, movement, and emotional depth.
I believe painting is a healing experience for both the artist and the viewer. Every brushstroke is an invitation to pause, reflect, and rediscover the beauty that surrounds us. My hope is that each painting offers a moment of peace, inspiration, and quiet optimism—a bridge between artist and viewer through the shared language of light and colour.
