Expressions
of Joy
Sandra
Illing
Vibrant
colors are one of Sandra's favourite things, and they can be found in
abundance in all of her paintings.
Although
she has used a variety of paints, such as acrylic, her favourite
medium is Encaustic. Encaustic paint allows
for texture, and for a particular vibrance in color, since this
wax-based paint actually absorbs varying degrees of light, while
reflecting the rest, thereby bringing depth to its expression,
whereas most other types of paint only reflect light and do not
absorb any.
Her
philosophy in the painting process is to simply be present in the
moment, usually with a particular combination of colors in mind, and
allow the painting to guide her in its own creation.
Each
painting is a unique piece of original artwork. Although she does
create some landscapes, Sandra prefers to paint mostly in abstract
because it allows for a great deal of personal interpretation. On
exhibition, many people will view a single painting in a different
way,
as each person taps into their own imagination and fantasy to
complete the interpretation, thereby creating a very personal, unique
and individual experience.
Sandra's
artwork has been described
as "full of wholesome vibes, beyond what may be initially seen,
but just as real - maybe more so".
Sandra
completed her professional training in Design in Wiesbaden, Germany.
She began painting as a teen, and more recently has begun to make her
artwork also available to the public, online and in exhibition. Her
paintings have been exhibited at The Art Gallery in Cornwall, in
private cafés in Montreal and Ottawa, as well as at the Martintown
Old Mill Gallery.
