…A visual endeavour to distil, comprehend , acknowledge and celebrate the magnificent stillness of the Australian Landscape.
Polina Karuso is a passionate and prolific plein-air landscape artist, living and working in Wollombi, Hunter Valley.
She travels around, capturing incredible vistas of her local area.
As well as the Hunter, Polina worked in Broken hill, Lightning Ridge and Hill End.
In addition to the Australian landscape she is interested in spiritual conversations, connecting human inner being with the outside world.
Discussions about the human condition, relationships and interactions between people
are also a prevalent theme within her practice.
Polina uses an extensive variety of art mediums, including charcoal, oil, acrylic, watercolor and others.
She chooses hardwood timber blocks as the surface for her paintings, which are recycled and sourced locally.
By doing this, her work gains unique weight, physicality and spiritual connection with her local area and the Land she belongs to.
