An intuitive painter whose works are at once sensitive and bold, Tiril creates unforgettable abstract canvases. Each is a unique experience, approached by the artist with a feeling of excitement and adventure unchained by plans or sketches. The paintings are therefore free to evolve and more purely manifest the concepts from which they spring. Tiril employs diverse techniques and varied brushstrokes, ranging from soft layered washes that create subtle depth to exciting thick impasto paint, heavily textured and applied with strong directional brushstrokes. Her use of color is striking yet balanced, bright yellows and sumptuous reds emerging from plainer fields to join blacks, which pull the viewer into their depths. Through color, line and form Tiril seeks to capture the essence of the spirit, to make the metaphysical manifest within the physical painting, using this most fundamental of human languages.
Tiril was born and educated in London but has lived and worked in Huntsville, AL, since 1990. Seeking truth and communication, she is an artist of integrity of expression.
