Do you know the world is beautiful?

Eliane Smith is a painter living in Montréal, Québec.

In a style she refers to as Expressionist Nature, Eliane mixes environmentally-friendly recycled latex paint with acrylics and varnish. While hoping to achieve a modern take on a traditional subject, Eliane also wishes her art to be an outward reminder of what is truly important in life - our home, the Earth.

STATEMENT

My pieces depict the seemingly chaotic qualities of the natural world as discovered through untouched landscapes and abandoned farms. I feel this is a perfect metaphor for humanity. Although we face our own chaos in daily life, within it there is an astounding beauty. Just as beauty arises in the wild, a sense of peace within one’s self can develop with the simple acts of letting go, being free, and trusting the universe.
