Weekly Favourite – Exciting New Art by Catherine Hiller
It’s always an exciting time when one of our artists reveals a new piece, but even more so when they have two gorgeous artworks to exhibit. This week we welcome two oil paintings that are sure to take your breath away by French born artist Catherine Hiller.
Catherine works exclusively in oils, typically favouring the best brands such as Gamblin, Schmincke, Artist Spectrum and Sennelier. She loves the richness and luxe of oil paint – “I love the way it glides on linen”. Her abstracts always start with the darker pigments that are then built up with multiple colourful layers. Catherine tells us that her layering process “symbolises the up and downs of life with the overwhelming positivity and resilience that I choose to adopt in my life.”
