GILL BUSTAMANTE | Oil | 122x91.5 cm • 48x36 in

The Eldritch Hart


The Eldritch Hart by Gill Bustamante is a large original oil painting capturing a frosty January morning in the English countryside, where a lone deer hart watches quietly from the shadows of a path. Semi-abstract in style, the piece shimmers between reality and abstraction, its atmosphere shifting like the frost itself. Muted tones of yellow, purple, blue, and brown evoke the stillness of winter, while the low sun filters through bare trees, casting light across frosted fields.

The painting was inspired by a walk through the Lewes and South Downs area of England in January 2025. On that day, the landscape felt suspended, as though waiting for spring to emerge. Only the birds, beginning to sing again with the lengthening days, animated the silence. The artist recalls seeing deer during the walk, encounters that always bring joy, and sought to capture not only the colours, temperature, and details of the scene, but also its energy and quiet magic.

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.
