Chloe Pinheiro
Chloe Pinheiro is a British artist based in Wiltshire, who works with free-flowing movement, to create textured and colourful abstract pieces inspired by nature.
Using a unique and multi-layered technique, Chloe adds texture and depth to her paintings giving them organic vivacity. Her recent work is a collection of paintings focused on natural water sources, in particular the geological surroundings and weather patterns that impact the flow of water. By capturing areas of light and shade refracted through the water’s surface, Chloe draws the viewer into the uncompromising energy, elegant forms and unyielding motion of nature’s tidal strength.

Laura Richards
“My paintings provide a calming space to contemplate, a chance to slow down and lose yourself, in a world familiar yet unknown. Atmospheric oil paintings inspired by the natural elements, subtle suggestion, and memories.
“I create instinctively, allowing time to play and work to develop organically, it’s all about the power of the process. Starting with gestural mark making, pouring, later building up layers of oil paint, forming shapes of abstracted land and sea and finally refining. Softening, blending, or ‘buffing’, creating delicate line, patterns of the water.”I create instinctively, allowing time to play and work to develop organically, it’s all about the power of the process.

“Working from my Wiltshire Garden studio, a place to ponder and immerse in painting.”
