Trained as a botanist, Ilana Manolson has an intimate and profound knowledge of the natural world. Her work stems both from her observations and outdoor paintings, and from her recollections painted in the sutdio. Manolson integrates precise observations of plants and organic matter into ethereal compositions, suggesting the fluidity between movement and memory. Combining intricate details with large, fluid brushstrokes, the artist creates a strong yet delicate evocation of life and light in nature.
