About Amanda Horvath

Amanda Horvath is a contemporary artist producing vibrant colourful and highly textured original paintings. Amanda attended Sheffield Hallam University, where she achieved a B A Hons (1st class) in fine art painting and printmaking. She subsequently lectured for a while and now practices full time as an artist from her studio in the Peak District where she lives with her husband.

"Painting is a response to the beautiful landscape around me, I attempt to capture the luminosity of light rays pouring through trees, the spirit of the forest and the quiet tranquillity of these peaceful places. Moved by the ethereal light filtering through leaves in woodlands and dramatic contrasting shadows. My inspiration begins with my walks through the beautiful Peak District where I live close to the natural world. I love every season each having its own beauty. I have a passion for expressing nature in beautiful colours, whilst imparting a meditative calm. This affinity with nature has grown from early childhood and my past experiences."

Working from observation of nature Amanda gathers visual information with a sketchbook or camera and often begins a canvas en plein air, finishing these preliminary pieces in her studio. Working expressively in acrylics or oils, often with a palette knife or other mark making techniques she applies layer upon layer until the painting reaches a natural conclusion, forming contemporary paintings that lie somewhere between abstraction and realism. Her paintings have found homes with private collectors worldwide.

About the Product

"By the Golden Wood" was inspired by some lovely woods near my home in the Peak District. Sunlight plays through beautiful leaves creating dappled shadows and light, while the impasto textures create contrast between dramatic shadows and the bright light shining over the foreground. The tones of amber, magenta, gold and orange celebrate an expression of Autumn.

An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
