About this artwork

This is a powerful, gestural expressive painting with strong calligraphic elements. The palette is limited to viridian green, greys, black and white with a splash of warm coppery red irredescent paint. The colours, the mark making and the sense of depth give it a sense of a stormy sea - or emotional turmoil. It has a raw energy which is appealing. The work is painted in oil - mixed either with wax or other mediums - plus oil sticks.

The piece… is framed in a natural wood shadow frame, making its size 74x54x3cm. It is signed on the back.

« My works are reduced inner landscapes that invite the viewer to interpret the mood or atmosphere, whether calm, meditative, melancholy, playful, or joyous. »

Alethea Eriksson is a South African–Swiss artist based in Baden, Switzerland. She creates nature-inspired abstract paintings that bring calm, spaciousness, and quiet presence into contemporary interiors. Through layered abstraction inspired by nature, light, weather, and inner landscapes, Eriksson creates paintings that invite stillness and reflection.
She describes her works — inner landscapes or “soulscapes”—as a form of visual poetry, expressing the sense of renewal and wellbeing she experiences in nature.
Inspired by masters such as Monet and Cézanne, alongside Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Cy Twombly, Eriksson creates compositions that invite the viewer to feel moved, uplifted, and immersed in a contemplative emotional space. "
Alethea Eriksson is a member of the Swiss Association of Women Artists. Her lyrical expressionist paintings have been presented in both solo and group exhibitions across Switzerland, as well as at art fairs in Britain and Germany.
