An abstract expressionist painting dominated by a cool, muted green background that evokes a sense of calm and depth. Energetic strokes of white paint arc and swirl across the canvas, creating a dynamic interplay that guides the eye. Interspersed among these white gestures are bursts of earthy tones—ochre, rust, and umber—which add warmth and complexity. Sharp, contrasting accents of black provide grounding and definition, while smaller touches of blue, yellow, and orange inject flashes of vibrancy. The composition, though seemingly chaotic, maintains a balanced tension, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the artist's spontaneous exploration of color, form, and movement. The gestural brushwork is loose and intuitive, suggesting a fluid, improvisational approach to the act of painting.
The artist known as "Woet Edwin," is a talented maker living in Auckland. He began his creative journey as a self-taught photographer and worked as a welder. His love for art led him to apply to art schools. In 2003, he started studying at Ucol School of Photography in Palmerston North. This experience introduced him to all of the important photographic artists since its begining, they taught him how to create prints in a dark room and develop film, how to matt and present prints to industry standards. Later, from 2011 to 2014, he attended Elam School of Fine Arts, where he continued to explore his passion for art. This incredible experience expanded his use of other mediums and conceptual ideas adding then more variety to his already developed documentary style of photography.
