Annabelle Pelaez

As a landscape and nature inspired artist based in Edinburgh, my interests are motivated not only by my admiration of the outstanding natural beauty of our environment here in Scotland but also a growing fascination with the concept of perspective in all its variants. Simultaneously, I have developed a particular fondness for painting the unappreciated lens of nature, and all its discarded characteristics. ​
I endeavoured to capture the ephemerality of nature onto canvas, parallel to this, my research into the impact of human interaction on the plant has allowed me to develop an understanding of the concept of the Anthropocene. I strive to raise awareness of, both literally and metaphorically speaking, the micro-details of nature (arguably mostly overlooked) combined with a macro-perspective of the land (that highlights some of the pressing issues that reflect our relationship with nature).​
