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

This painting has a magic of its own with gold and bright blue tones. By creating layers of colour and texture I have captured the quiet presence of a forest that feels both real and imagined. Turquoise tones run through the work like a breath of sky and water, a colour long associated with calm, renewal, and a sense of protection. Working in an impressionistic way, I wanted the scene to feel gentle and contemplative, inviting the viewer to pause and step into a moment of stillness. Soft golds and touches of light drift through the surface, catching the eye and bringing a sense of warmth and freshness, as though the forest itself is quietly glowing.

This is a one-of-a-kind original painting, created using high-quality acrylic paints on a circular canvas. The process begins with time spent observing the landscape, making notes and taking photographs before returning to the studio. From there, I work intuitively, laying down base layers with a brush, then gradually building texture using impasto techniques and a palette knife. I draw on optical colour mixing inspired by the Impressionists, alongside traditional methods such as scumbling and glazing, allowing the painting to evolve naturally until it feels complete.
The finished work sits somewhere between abstraction and realism, offering space for both recognition and imagination. The image continues around the sides of the canvas and is signed on the side, so no frame is needed and it is ready to hang. For display purposes, the painting has been photographed against a white background.
