#298 – Driftwood

This painting is about presence for me. The driftwood, worn smooth by the sea, carries a softness that contrasts with its strength. I am drawn to the way it endures, holding both resilience and grace at the edge of the shore. It feels like a symbol of perseverance and quiet preservation, resting with the movement of the water and the shifting colours of the sky. When I sit with it, I feel a stillness, as if the wood itself is reminding me that time does not only break things down but also shapes them into something lasting and beautiful. That calm endurance is what I hoped to capture, and what continues to hold my attention in this piece.

Jeff Dillon the Canadian Artist, inspired by the bold colours and brush strokes of Post-Impressionist Artists. His unique style focuses on capturing light, not through the detail of realism, but with gesture, illusion, shape and colour. He offers a personal and distinctive style to the world through his bold use of colours and lines, often symbolic images or subject matter. Objects in the paintings retain their realistic appearance yet have a vibrancy and fluidity about them, unique to his work. Jeff Dillon’s new expression of Post-Impressionism is both beloved and revered in the Canadian and Global Contemporary Art World.
