Dalene Meiring

Dalene's works are brought together to portray people, places and domestic objects that are inextricably linked to her current surroundings. Her work is rich in colour, harmonious in form and have intense combinations. It portrays a vitality that creates a balance with silent meditation, yet expresses an individual decisive vision of life. I am passionate about experimentation with texture, colour and different media so I can produce a unique and compelling finish to each piece. I try to impose a visual and emotional experience in my paintings – to remind me of a place, time or memory, although the exactness of the moment will sometimes continue to evade me. She paints for the love of expression and the passion of life and all the beauty in it. She tries to arouse emotions and sensations, often of serenity and tranquillity, that invites you to reflect and contemplate. Her abstract oils convey a feeling of controlled atmospheric space and a measured control of depth and perspective.
