Beeswax resin, pigment and oil paint on panel — Unframed.

This work is from a series of formal trifold compositions of quiet horizontal abstraction, based in the Venetian tradition of “colore” (color as the basis of art) producing a Depiction of Atmosphere (the Unseen Air) as both subject and object. Here the subtle Taupe/grey tones produce a palpable density and optical resonance capturing the diffused light and hidden modalities of nature, and the process of metamorphosis beneath the surface.

The images Yntema creates are the result of accumulated, semi-translucent layers of color.

The beeswax gives a dimensional quality to whatever surface she paints on. Despite the buildup of layers, the qualities of the wax also imbue an ephemeral lightness to the pictures, as light is allowed to pass through the top layer to illuminate the layers beneath.
