SEATTLE ART FAIR 2026.  FROM  "SPACE FOR DREAMS"

 Space for Dreams

The "Space for Dreams" project by Viola Arteamni brings together  imagery of forest, water, light, and human presence. The artists explore inner states, the quest for balance, and the ability to find grounding in the natural world.

Description - In this Collection I am trying to represent balance between landscape and memory — not a literal place, but an emotional terrain. What stands out most is not just one element, but the way color, mood, movement, and texture all work together.

Mood / Atmosphere - You are  like looking over land after rain, or remembering a place rather than standing in it and  It feels emotional without explaining itself directly.

Color - The earthy greens, ochres, mossy yellows, blacks, and muted grays create a very organic palette. The colors are restrained rather than decorative, which gives the painting maturity. It stays between abstraction and landscape and has a mature contemporary landscape language — expressive, layered, atmospheric, and emotionally intelligent.

Technique / Surface -  The scraping, layering, transparent washes, and directional marks create history within the surface.

Important qualities: gestural movement, broken planes, partially erased marks, textures that suggest construction and erosion at the same time.

This gives the work energy and authenticity.

Composition-The composition pulls the eye inward through diagonal movement and layered pathways. It  reads like aerial perspective or fragmented fields.
