Inspired by Osea, an inhabited island in the estuary of the River Blackwater, Essex. Access to Osea Island is via an ancient causeway built by the Romans. The enigmatic tidal road opens at every low tide for a period of 4 hours when cars can be driven across.
I wanted to capture the energy and motion of the tide in the application of the paint, fluid and expressive mark making and bold colour palette.

Luana Asiata is a London based artist with a background in Fine Arts and Graphic Design. Luana studied painting at Elam School of Fine Arts in New Zealand many moons ago and took a detour into design, which can be really shown in her work.
Luana is continually reimagining the world in my abstract interpretations, reducing the visible world into shapes, colours and patterns. Music plays a big part and influences the way she paints and draws, rhythmically it sets a pace where she can visualise colour vibrations.
Most of her drawings become preparatory drawings for painting either in oils or acrylics. Different objects, photos and words trigger a memory or a feeling.
Abstract art creates an inner world, you never really know where it will take you or what the end result will be, I love the explorative nature of it and the visual sensations that unfold.
She works from her little studio in South London. Dungarvan is the hometown of her husband, a picturesque town in Ireland which is a constant source of inspiration in her work.
