For the ‘Ocean Series’, artist Emma Fineman creates serene oil paintings inspired by her life at the coast of California.
A graduate in painting, the artist captures the movements of waves with bold strokes in soft tones. Based in Oakland, Fineman has already received numerous awards for her art and she also works as a photographer.
In an exclusive statement, Fineman says about the series: “Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in a climate dense with fog, has influenced me to represent landscape in a blurred and dreamlike way. The use of natural settings, organic shapes, and colors specific to this landscape are repeated elements in my work. My focus as a painter is to produce images that seem to be remembered in an psychological sense, or even imagined, as opposed to directly witnessed.”
