About the Item

Lindsey Kustusch’s "Velvet Blooms" (2024) is a striking oil painting on wood panel measuring 24 x 24 inches. This contemporary composition features a regal raven perched among dark, velvety hollyhock blossoms, set against a muted circular backdrop. The interplay of expressive brushwork and rich, layered textures captures the delicate yet mysterious presence of the bird and its botanical surroundings. Kustusch's signature style blends realism with painterly abstraction, enhancing the dynamic contrast between the detailed rendering of the raven's plumage and the impressionistic strokes of foliage. The moody color palette—deep purples, rich greens, and neutral tones—creates an atmospheric tension, drawing the viewer into the scene. This piece is executed on a cradled wood panel, offering a sturdy and polished presentation without the need for framing. It is signed in the lower left corner and arrives wired and ready to hang. A compelling choice for collectors of contemporary wildlife and nature-inspired works, "Velvet Blooms" exemplifies Kustusch’s mastery of movement, light, and texture. Artist statement: I am an oil painter based out of Salem, OR. My ambition is to try and capture the fleeting moments in life using this medium as an opportunity to see the world with a more interesting and colorful perspective. To stay present and aware by seeing the extraordinary in the mundane, challenging the insignificant versus the significant, and at the end of the day creating a deeper connection with the world around me. Living in a densely populated, bustling, urban environment has had a tremendous influence on the development of my work. Every day I bring something unexpected back to the studio, fueling the exploration of new ideas, tools and techniques, while continuously questioning how, what and why to paint. Just as my subjects and use of pigment are ever-evolving, so is the reason to create something in the first place. And the further I explore, the clearer it's become.... To see the things I might have missed, to preserve and remember the moments that will never return, and to encourage others to do the same... Because ALL of it is important... The quiet, the chaotic, the unremarkable, the extraordinary, the marvels of nature, the day to day things, etc... All of it is life, and all of it is significant. It's just all in how we look at it.
