Surrealistic Digital Art / / “Let there be light” is an English translation of the Hebrew יְהִי אוֹר (yehiy ‘or). Other translations of the same phrase include the Latin phrase fiat lux, and the Greek phrase γενηθήτω φώς (or genēthētō phōs). The phrase is often used for its metaphorical meaning of dispelling ignorance. The phrase comes from the third verse of the book of Genesis in the King James Bible: 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. / 1:2 – And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. / 1:3 – And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. / 1:4 – And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. / / / / Pair with… / / / / / MCN: CCB37-A1E56-16AAA / / © Imber 2007.

I don’t think there is any other flower like a Rose, that can say so much with so little….and with that I will let the photo itself speak….
The painting is based on a photo I took on Dartmoor a few years ago. The light was fantastic and I’ve expanded on that to create this vibrant landscape.
The country east of Broken Hill in Australia has been blown into thousands of kilometres of wavy ridgelines which look like the very bones of the Earth…in the gullies between the ridgelines, plant and animal life survive in temperatures well over the old 100 degree mark. / It is harsh, beautiful and unforgiving / It is my country / I love it 60×60cm / Acrylic, charcoal and inks on stretched canvas / Original for sale…hey, I gotta pay the rent!
This painting represents the state of my country where cattle and sheep have been grazing on very poor land for a hundred years. The tracks from every part of vast open rangelands lead to life-giving waterholes, forming beautiful but damaging scars upon the landscape. Fenced bushland in the lower corner shows what once was and can never be again… / This land has a ravaged beauty / It seems so harsh but is so fragile / It is ancient and deserves our awe / I am in awe 60×60 cm / Acrylic, charcoal and inks on stretched canvas / Original for sale…I can only eat grass for so long :)
Across the top end of my country and on into its heartland the earth has been fractured and torn by immense forces we cannot understand. Some of these scars of violence are now massive gorge systems, filled with waterfalls, rivers and sometimes a lonely, isolated rockhole. / Life flourishes in such places, little Edens surviving in a landscape so hostile to man that it seems like the surface of another planet. / But it is my planet / My country / My heart 60×60 cm / Acrylic, charcoal and inks on stretched canvas / Original is with a very good home :)
Out West the land is being eaten by salt. / As the trees and bush are cleared the water level rises and the salt comes to the surface, poisoning the water and land. The trees that are left struggle on but most of them will die, except those lucky enough to be high on the ridges and hills. / But the saltlands also have a deadly beauty; where it has settled, it becomes a deep, almost luminous pink…where it flows, it becomes a gigantic serpent slithering across the ancient landscape, swallowing everything in its path, depositing even more poison along its flanks. / Yet it is still my country. / Still part of my soul. / It reminds me what we are doing to Earth. / It is not good. 60×60cm / Acrylic, charcoal and ink on stretched canvas / Original for sale to good home with kittens :)
Oil on canvas. 25cm x 25cm.
In the North of the Pilbara of Western Australia a timeless landscape simmers in the unbearable heat, line after unending line of ridges marching across the Earth’s surface… / Some of the ridges are closer together, some have joined together, wavy lines of rock and sand become one for short distances…it is in these places where the ribs of the Earth come together that water can collect and exist for a while, and where the vegetation can thrive…eucalypts, acacias and desert scrub crowd together in an effort to survive, like so many pub patrons on a hot Sunday afternoon / Outside, in the flat baking valleys only the toughest live on, determined, grim and unbowed as were the first explorers and settlers of this most beautiful of hells… / Life is hard in my Country / But Death is not an option 60×60 cm / Acrylic & inks on stretched canvas / Original for sale, my own ribs are showing, man! Detail: /
The Kimberley / Vast…Ancient…Unexplored…Legendary… / This place is unique in the World, so many mysteries, so many nooks and crannies are yet to be scarred by the footprint of man…white man that is. Aboriginal people lived here for tens of thousands of years, coexisting with the rocks and sand and plants and animals, only taking what was needed to survive… / And moving on I do not know what forces created the waves of the Kimberley…wind, water, volcanic eruption? All I know is that the land has been left beautifully sculpted, and then dotted here and there with stands of tough desert trees that scream out at the World “I am a survivor!” / / And survive against all odds they do, in pockets, their backs to the wall, nurturing each other while denying each other those things so precious and vital for existence, water, air, light…a few kilometres to the left and the hard quartz denies plant roots purchase, a few kilometres to the right and water is non-existent, except in the dim memory of the stones that once lay at the bottom of the oceans that covered this Country, this Kimberley. 60×60 cm / Acrylic on stretched canvas / Original for sale…and get a set of steak knives!
