Chelsea Davine

UK

Chelsea Davine was born in London but for the past 25 years has made Barcelona her home. She is a painter using primarily oil on canvas or black steel. She embeds copper, gold and silver leaf between thin washes of paint or ‘velos’. Light infuses her work and reflects the world around her. Her inspiration comes from the Pyrenees or the ‘Costa Brava’ coastline recording the passage of time and ebb and flow of the Sea. Chelsea captures fleeting moments as the seasons change using techniques such as ‘Chiaroscuro’ to create depth or Palladian’s theory of harmony in richly layered, elegant abstract paintings.

Chelsea’s work does not seek to simply capture an image, but to create an impression of a moment in time, to bottle an essence and release it onto a canvas. Her work is rich both in colour and content using predominantly oils with gold, silver and copper leaf her abstract impressionistic work is elegant and nuanced. Her most recent body of work REFLECT epitomises her passion for reflecting light, beauty and her inner thoughts as she works.

Trained at Chelsea Art College in London her work is inspired by her sculpture background which is visible in her large format black steel paintings and her oil paintings by her love of nature, especially the forests and valleys of the Pyrennees and the sea and rugged coastline of the Costa Brava. Her work is held in private collections around the world.

Chelsea Davine nació en Londres, pero desde hace 25 años ha hecho de Barcelona su hogar. Es pintora y utiliza principalmente óleo sobre lienzo o acero negro. Integra pan de cobre, oro y plata entre finas capas de pintura o “velos”. La luz impregna su obra y refleja el mundo que la rodea. Su inspiración proviene de los Pirineos y de la costa de la Costa Brava, donde registra el paso del tiempo y el constante ir y venir del mar. Chelsea captura momentos fugaces a medida que cambian las estaciones, empleando técnicas como el claroscuro para crear profundidad o la teoría de la armonía de Palladio, en pinturas abstractas de capas ricas y elegancia sutil.

La obra de Chelsea no busca simplemente capturar una imagen, sino crear una impresión de un momento en el tiempo, embotellar una esencia y liberarla sobre el lienzo. Su trabajo es rico tanto en color como en contenido, empleando predominantemente óleos junto con pan de oro, plata y cobre. Su obra abstracta e impresionista se caracteriza por su elegancia y matices. Su serie más reciente, REFLECT, encarna su pasión por reflejar la luz, la belleza y sus pensamientos más íntimos mientras trabaja.

Formada en el Chelsea Art College de Londres, su obra está inspirada en su trayectoria en escultura, algo que se hace visible en sus pinturas de gran formato sobre acero negro, mientras que sus óleos reflejan su amor por la naturaleza, especialmente por los bosques y valles de los Pirineos, así como por el mar y la costa escarpada de la Costa Brava. Su obra forma parte de colecciones privadas en todo el mundo.
