Landscape As A Canvas


Landscape is everything that surrounds us transformed into art presented on canvas or even in paintings. Drawing the surrounding landscape defines every structure and at the same moment it symbolizes it. Adding the landscape on canvas gives us the opportunity to rediscover it and search it by its deeper meaning with different layers (materials, plans, placing, redesign, planting). Drawing a landscape helps deform the area which we have visited by our feelings, our spirit, our sensitivity and our soul which basically helps us become a part of the environment and nature. Then by understanding nature and the environment we place our ideas of design and compositions on a canvas, paper, painting which helps us understand if it fits better in the landscape. We seek and conquer every landscape around us to eliminate its architecture so by drawing our thoughts on paper and finalizing them we bring them in life on the real canvas which is named Earth.
