Arantxa Solis in 'Wild Kin'

Painted entirely by hand without the use of an airbrush, Arantxa’s ethereal color field paintings invite viewers to lose themselves in their vaporous blending, while bursts of staccato paint act as a visual echo of sound. Arantxa’s work is interested in exploring natural and atmospheric phenomena, using oil paint not only to create smooth gradients but also to explore contrast, planar relationships, and terrestrial sensations. Colors and brushstrokes evoke the rhythms and frequencies of the landscape and channel elemental forces of earth, fire, air, and water. Explore more here.

This series of paintings called 'Sounds of Earth' made for my exhibition at Uprise Art are focused on the idea of natural and atmospheric earthly phenomenons.

Arantxa Solis

This circular painting references the sun, the warm tones evoking summer days and the expression "dog days of summer". Originally a phrase from Latin, it was believed that when Sirius (the dog star) rose, the heat increased in the northern hemisphere.

By leaving visible brushstrokes in some of the works, the imprint of the brush's trace and force act like emphases in the painting, like loud sounds or vibrations on the canvas - the colors and brush strokes simulating frequencies of the landscape.
