Ildiko Kovacs Coast to coast

oil on plywood

180 x 360 cm

Coast to coast is inspired by my coastal walks in the Royal National Park near where I live in Bundeena. The walks I take along the cliff tops are wild and rugged. I paint through memory and emotion. My process is intuitive. I respond to an internal rhythm, which dictates line, colour and form. This is a key work in a series of paintings drawn from these coastal walks.
