“Daydreaming” is a contemporary landscape painting that invites viewers into a realm of tranquility and introspection. Through vibrant hues of ochre and yellow, the artwork captures the essence of happiness woven into the landscape, evoking a sense of serenity akin to meditation. Each brushstroke guides the observer to a faraway place, where time slows and the mind wanders freely. As one gazes upon the canvas, they are transported to a world of daydreams, where the beauty of nature becomes a gateway to inner peace and contemplation.
Award winning Australian artist Dana Dion’s paintings reflect an intense exploration of the world and her subsequent quest for inner expression of that experience. The bold physicality of her painterly surfaces is balanced with a sense of tender vulnerability and an obvious love for the process of painting.
Luscious and evocative, the works explore the vast reaches of a rich inner landscape through a language that she has developed over the years.
Dion’s worldview is one of connection, not separation. When looking at her life and work, the traces of longing for a deeper connection are evident. For her, this link to a sense of place that cannot ever be uprooted is essential. Intimate and beyond words, these paintings echo not only a sense of place, but a sense of peace.
