Balinese Nature-Themed Impressionist Painting on Canvas, "Kelingkung Vibes"

Artist Nyoman Tomblos showcases his native Bali's green hills and valleys in his impressionist work 'Kelingkung Vibes', dedicated to the rich nature surrounding Kelingkung village. Teeming with biodiversity, the forests and fields of Kelingkung exhibit a bountiful collection of tree species, including hardwoods and palms, painted by Tomblos to highlight their individual beauty. Utilizing the pointillism technique to achieve his impressionist language, Tomblos patterns elongated dots to create the effect of a solid image, especially when viewed from afar. Unlike a completed filled painting, pointillism depends on the eye and imagination of the viewer to complete the spaces, resulting in differing perceptions from one observer to the next. Prior to digital pixels, pointillism pioneered the grainy look of additive colours. Tomblos' combination of primary hues aligns with his contrasting use of dark and bright regions to achieve an creative distribution of dynamic light.
