Groix Waters – Abstract Beauty at KAB Gallery Sydney by Catherine Hiller

Discover the island Groix through the brush of Catherine Hiller. Celebrated in paint, the jewel of the Brittany Islands is Groix, a destination to position at the top of your bucket list or admire for life with this incredible original painting at KAB Gallery Sydney. ‘Groix Waters IV’ is an oil-on-linen painting by renowned French-Australian artist, Catherine Hiller, which captures the serene beauty of the island waters of Groix, France.

 The deep, tropical blues accented by hints of warm orange capture the idyllic, coastal lifestyle of Groix in the summertime. Hiller’s distinctive brushwork mirrors an aqueous sense of movement, evoking feelings of tranquility and a sense of connection to the rhythmic flow of the ocean.  

Her technique of gradually layering colours allows for a complex composition, which varies in terms of depth, contrast, and focus. The soft-focus, hazy background inspires a sense of nostalgia for summers past, whilst the white accents in the foreground echo a birdlike formation, suggesting themes of migration, transience, and ecological harmony.
