Simone Krug's Deep Sea is a mesmerizing acrylic and mixed media painting that transports its viewers into an ethereal underwater realm. The artwork captivates with its vivid interplay of predominantly soothing blue hues, effortlessly intertwined with bursts of vibrant oranges, delicate whites, and hints of refreshing chartreuse. As one delves deeper into the intricacies of this layered masterpiece, it becomes apparent that every brushstroke and mark is purposefully placed, perfectly mirroring the ebb and flow of the ever-changing sea. Simone Krug's skilled hand brings to life the rhythmic waves of color and the mysterious depths, leaving the viewers in awe of the artist's ability to bring forth such a captivating underwater tapestry.

Spontaneous marks, various fluid brushstrokes, and excavated designs are the hallmark of Simone Krug’s breathtaking paintings. Each stroke carries a unique energy, capturing the essence of the artist's creative spirit. Observing her in action, one might witness Simone making confident marks, freely exploring the expressive possibilities of graphite, charcoal, crayons, or any other drawing device that calls to her in the moment. 

However, it is when she approaches her palette, adorned with swirling pools of rich acrylic paint, that the true magic begins to unfold. With a brush, trowel, or knife in hand, Simone fearlessly scoops up the vibrant colors and applies them onto the awaiting canvas. There is an undeniable sense of liberation that permeates throughout her process, as she allows the paint to spread and intertwine, guiding her with each stroke.

In a dance between artist and medium, Simone relinquishes control to the artwork itself. She surrenders to the unpredictable nature of the paints on the canvas, allowing the layers to build upon one another, creating depth and complexity. But Simone's journey does not end with the final layer of paint. Quite the opposite, in fact. With meticulous care and attention, she takes up sandpaper and begins to gently sand the canvas. As the abrasive surface glides over the painted surface, a fascinating and mesmerizing sight emerges – the history of her process is revealed. It is as though her paintings carry within them the secrets of their own creation, a testament to the artist's unwavering dedication and exploration.

Simone's paintings are an invitation to step into a world where spontaneity, intuition, and daring exploration reign supreme. With each stroke, color, and revealed layer, she shares a unique glimpse into a kinetic artistic journey that captivates the viewer's imagination.
