The sea of colours

„The last three years I have been living by the sea, which has been an endless source of inspiration for me. The profound and ever-changing images that surround me every day are filtered through my personal approach, in an almost abstractive manner. I want to convey what is grasped on a deeper level, through my inner senses. Aiming for clarity, I minimise the elements used, focusing on composition, light, colour, forms and the rhythmical patterns that are created.” – Zenia Dimitrakopoulou

„My style is focused on colour and texture, with a variety of subject matter from seascapes to local florals to geometric abstractions of nature.” – Ann Marie Coolick

Ann Marie Coolick is an impasto painter from Arlington, Virginia focusing on colorful abstractions and expressionist seascapes and landscapes using only palette knives and heavy body paint straight from the tube. She slathers frosting-like paint layer upon layer onto the canvas with paint running off the edges, resulting in a sculptural, three-dimensional appearance. Ann Marie has painted exclusively with palette knives for over a decade. After graduating from Virginia Tech Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Studio Art (honors painting concentration) and a BS in Marketing Management in 2003, she moved to Arlington, where she currently resides and maintains a home studio practice.
