Art Analysis
A rhythmic meditation on nature and quiet symmetry
Sterk begins her process on paper, utilizing watercolor techniques to establish a foundation of soft, fluid color before refining the work through digital illustration tools. The result is a composition that balances the tactile quality of a physical painting with the sharp, geometric clarity of graphic editing, creating a structured yet organic tribute to the natural world.
Part of a series designed to foster happiness and calm, the artwork uses the symmetry of the cicada and surrounding floral motifs to ground the viewer. By merging the insect's intricate form with metallic-inspired surfaces and botanical elements, Sterk offers a visual anchor that encourages finding a unique sense of peace within its rhythmic patterns.
The piece relies on the repetition of precise shapes to build a sense of architectural order and visual stability.
Starting as a paper original, the piece evolves through digital layers to blend traditional watercolor textures with clean graphic lines.
The piece explores the intimate relationship between the figure and her lush, varied collection of indoor greenery.
The use of faux gold leaf adds a reflective, mixed-media dimension to the flat geometric planes.
