About Gill Bustamante
I paint large semi-abstract oils that seek to capture, not just the visual details of a location, but its scents, sounds, and spiritual energy. They are inspired by encounters with landscapes, wildlife and birds, particularly the ancient landscapes of England.
My paintings are completely unique in style.
I often paint from memory as it better allows me to move beyond traditional realism, and into magical realism using colour, texture and light to express the magic I sense in wild meadows, forests, seas and rivers.
Animals, pathways, and portals are recurring motifs in my painting’s, often as symbols of transition, curiosity, and the mysteries that lie just beyond the visible. I am fascinated by the folklore and hidden stories woven into the countryside, and I strive to share that sense of wonder and connection through my art.
My technique is rooted in traditional oil painting, but I build each piece with layers of glaze, texture, and intuitive, art nouveau like, brush stokes, letting the painting evolve organically as a controlled chaos.
My goal is to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and to encourage its protection as well as to provide a place to escape beyond the mundane.
Each painting is a captured universe—a place where viewers can lose themselves, dream, and perhaps glimpse the magic that still lingers in the land and in nature.

About the Product
July Dissolving is an original panoramic oil painting of the view from the South Downs in summer 2025. It is 48x24x1.5 inches. The painting was made after a jubilant walk up this hill from Washington in Sussex. The path winds steeply upwards through farm land and eventually arrives at Chanctonbury ring hill fort. You can see a complete hectic abundance of wildflowers and brambles and the hint of a winding chalk path. The scene is just starting to dissolve which represents the way nature transitions from one season into another – almost like a scene change in a theatre. As always, I have chosen to show some of the actual features of this landscape along with how I felt about it. It is happy but slightly wistful painting as summer is over far too soon in England! Painted on deep edge canvas, edges pale yellow, ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity. #art #artist #artmaster
