The horizon has always been more than just a line where the earth meets the sky; its a place of calm. In this piece I moved past the detail and leaned toward a minimalist approach, simplifying the barn and the treeline into familiar shapes with blocks of colour. I hint at the atmosphere I remember from my roots in the Maritimes, layered with bold opaque shapes of the western foothills I now call home.
"Quiet Horizon" captures the vast stillness of the Canadian countryside through a lens of sharp geometry and dynamic movement. Inspired by the recurring vistas of my annual summer drives across the country, this piece distills the passing farmlands and open skies into a structured, deeply personal vision.
While the subject matter evokes a sense of rural calm, the composition relies on asymmetric structures and bold diagonal curves to give the landscape an underlying energy. By separating the fields and horizons with hard graphic boundaries rather than soft realism, I want to move past generic reproduction and instead share the vivid, lasting impression of the cross-country journey.
