The Thin Place Beckons
The Thin Place Beckons by Gill Bustamante is a very large semi-abstract oil painting depicting deer gathering beyond a lake within a heart-shaped forest at twilight. The composition is rendered with generous layers of white, golden yellow, peach, and purple, with cyan blue accents.
The painting is inspired by the Celtic concept of a “thin place,” a location that exists between two universes. The artist has long been fascinated by this idea, and the deer, often appearing in folklore as guides or harbingers between worlds, embody this mystical connection. The multilayered oil paint shifts dramatically in different light, moving from muted, neutral tones to luminous sunset hues throughout the day, capturing the magical quality the artist sought. This work invites viewers to experience a sense of wonder and connection, reflecting both the artist’s vision and the magic of the natural world.

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.
