Perspective
Gill Bustamante is definitely a dreamer as her ambition is to paint a way out of this universe into a better one! Most of her artworks feature pathways, portals and little mystery roots to other realities.
Her painting style is a fusion of expressionism, impressionism, semi-abstract and art nouveau. All depictions of fairytale landscapes, dreamy animals, mystery birds, horses and deer. Her techniques and ideas stand out to such an extent, they make a statement for themselves.
This artist is worth following if you just have the urge to escape out this world and dive into some wonderful places.

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
White winter deer is a large wide panoramic painting of a snowy Kentish landscape with hills, woodland and deer. It is 30x60x1.5 inches with dark purple edges that match the colour of the trees. It is expressionist and messy art nouveau in style. The painting shows a view through trees and fields and patches of woodland and forest towards hills in the distance. The colours are muted lilacs; burnt orange, blue and of course white snow with touches of golden yellow in the sky that shows it is snow-laden. To the right, is a roe deer stag and behind him two female deer. Over to the left, very small so you can hardly see them, are three more deer hiding in the trees. The paint is very thick and almost dripping off the canvas over a textured underlayer. (Textured as it was repainted a few times which I find adds to the presence of a painting). The painting was inspired by the views around the North Downs in Kent close to Ide Hill where you can see a long way over gentle hills and meadows towards the South Downs and the sea beyond them (park at postcode TN146JG!). The painting was a challenge for me as it was painted in December 2020 when English landscapes are particularly grey and dull in colour. I was very pleased that I managed to capture the December feeling but also managed to bring out the best of the colours. It is on deep edge canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed.
