Piece description from the artist
Mandalore II is the second piece of a triptych called Mandalore. I was inspired by the sand dunes in the star wars series called The Mandalorian while I was watching it with my son. One of my favorite ways to spend special one on one time with my son is by watching science fiction movies/shows, and I draw a lot of inspiration from the landscapes.
The surface of the hills of sand appeared so smooth and untouched. I used a wallpaper smoothing tool to create these sheer layers of acrylic paint, over and over, meticulously building the layers on top of one another. If Mother Nature were a sentient being, it's how I imagine she might have created those hills herself.
I wanted to exaggerate the gradient of a landscape with hills in the far distance, so I approached this a bit more abstractly with the ombré effect.
Mandalore is one of my favorite pieces I've made thus far because of how therapeutic it was to create this. It one of the few pieces I've made that wasn't created using mixed media.
Elizabeth Mason is an abstract landscape artist originally from Oceanside, CA, currently residing in Los Angeles. For as long as she can remember, art has always played an integral part in how she communicates, how she expresses herself, and how she sees the world.
Elizabeth focuses on mixed media with an emphasis on texture, giving the landscape aspect of her pieces a striking and unique layer of warmth, depth and dimension. She thinks of art as a form of thought provoking therapy for the observer, so implementing elements of grounding earth and organic textures that you can see and feel are what Elizabeth is drawn to most.
Elizabeth takes her inspiration from Mother Nature. The spidering branches from the deep roots to the tops of a tree, the way the retreating waves on a beach leave the same branch-like forms in the sand, and the way the rain leaves those same impressions in the hills of mountains. The structure of our irises and the wrinkles on our hands. These natural formations even appear in the galaxy and across the universe. It is infinite and it is beautiful.
Elizabeth has a strong working relationship with many interior designers in Los Angeles, and her work has been added to rosters of prominent art dealers in the Los Angeles, including Posner Fine Art and Art Dimensions, Inc. Elizabeth is a member of Los Angeles Art Association, and Women in Luxury Design; an esteemed business networking organization comprised of leading women in the luxury design/building industries.
