GILL BUSTAMANTE | Oil | 91.5x91.5 cm • 36x36 in

Emanation


Emanation by Gill Bustamante is a semi-abstract contemporary landscape oil painting depicting a white egret on a riverbank surrounded by green trees and pink wildflowers. Predominantly green, the work is built from multiple transparent layers of paint, giving it a magical, shimmering quality that seems to move in and out of reality, inspiring the title.

The egret sits on the right bank of the river, flexing and shaking her wispy feathers, as if observed unexpectedly yet unaware of the viewer’s presence. Painted in thick white paint that blends with the layered background, she emerges subtly from the riverbank. The piece is inspired by the artist’s walks along the River Medway near Tunbridge Wells in June, where white egrets are often seen against lush green willows, reeds, and flowers. Though a familiar sight, these birds remain captivating, and the painting celebrates the vibrant greens of the June countryside and the wildlife encountered along rivers.

Artist’s Vision

gill bustamante

Gill is a British visual artist who creates semi-abstract landscapes that transcend mere representation, capturing the soul of a place rather than just its physical form. Inspired by her walks through nature, she absorbs the sights, scents, and energy of the landscape, later distilling these impressions from memory onto canvas. This intuitive approach allows her to preserve the most vivid and emotive elements, evoking the essence of a season or terrain. Birds and wildlife often emerge within her compositions, infusing her work with movement, life, and a deep connection to the natural world.
