The Grotto
This landscape painting employs a vibrant color palette to depict both architectural elements and natural features. The artist's paintings are windows into a larger mysterious world, giving viewers something new and surprising to look at with each passing glance.
Raymie Iadevaia uses paint to get closer to the textures of the real world. The artist stains, smears, scrapes and scumbles layers of oil paint to create variegated surfaces. The resulting compositions evoke hazy impressions of both personal memories and imaginary worlds—meandering hiking trails, dense plant life, strange architectures, colorful creatures and faraway cities. Iadevaia's paintings transport viewers into distant but strangely familiar places.
