< Back Jacqueline Boberg JAN 24 - APR 19 Edge of Silence Artist Statement: With thirty years of exploration across watercolor, pastel, oil, and acrylic, I’ve continually sought new ways to express light. A decade in abstract mixed media reshaped my artistic vision, and my recent return to landscapes and still lifes merges contemporary experimentation with timeless observation. My landscapes are born from fleeting moments — a slant of light, a shift in color, a spark of inspiration that demands to be caught in the mind’s eye before it disappears. Working in acrylic allows me to chase that immediacy and not fuss around as the paint dries instantaneously. Each canvas becomes a dialogue between instinct and experimentation, between what I see and what I feel. In the studio, joy lives in discovery — the thrill of pushing paint, of finding new challenges in every composition, of not knowing exactly where a brushstroke will lead. I embrace the possibility of failure as part of the creative process. Like Silicon Valley’s mantra, I believe in failing big and failing often — because each “failure” reveals something unexpected, something truer. My goal is simple: to capture not just the landscape itself, but the energy of the moment that inspired it — alive, imperfect, and full of wonder. Until I move on to the next thing…. Previous Next

I was very lucky to be raised in the town of Meinong, where the Hakka culture was and is alive and well, and to be raised in our old family home near a National Park. As a result, I grew up immersed in very traditional culture and beautiful nature scenery. "For a deep and true appreciation of art one must educate the eye.” - Helen Keller I believe in painting people you love so much, painting antiques from grandparents, dad and mom, and lovely kids' gifts. The process is a joyful ceremony, painting how I feel and what I care about. "Take one bright star to guide your path.” - Take A Bright Star , by Georgia B. Adams I am so grateful for the many bright stars in my life in art, they helped me a lot, and allowed me to stay strong on the windy path. “Keep a green bough in your heart, and the singing bird will come.” - Chinese Proverb I believe all kinds of beautiful artworks are a universal language. Thanks to my family fully supporting me, I learned watercolor, calligraphy, ink, and Chinese paintings. An artist is similar to a gardener, because without hard work, there are no beautiful flowers, butterflies, or birds. “Beauty seen is never lost.” - John Greenleaf Whittier Most of the time it is true, if we can put the painting in the document, we can frame it and enjoy it year by year. My solo show paintings are a sketch book of my path - either pure, transparent, or ink and watercolor, or opaque mixed media, I tried every possibility for my artwork, to try and find the richness of values, texture and the tone, no matter if they are black and white or color. My family and I would like to thank the Triton Museum of Art for this solo show, which is a golden opportunity and every artist's dream come true, and we appreciate that.

Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. I find myself getting immersed in the beauty of nature’s colors. These colors have a very strong impact on my personality and paintings as they remind me of my cultural background. My art is inspired by nature therefore I see my reflection in leaves, trees and branches that changes modes and colors with the seasons. I use a various limited color palette for each painting to depict different moods of nature. Through variations of lines, layers and color palette, I explore the sensitivity and delicacy of changing seasons. Some paintings reveal the beauty of spring and fall and some impression of summer and winter. I arrange my composition by depicting organic forms, lines, colors, drips and brush strokes. On my painting surface, I look for interesting organic shapes and capture them. I explore the relationship between the loose marks and the developed shapes. My lyrical lines add a rhythm though out the piece. I leave the evidence of the painting process by adding translucent layers on top of each other. I add drips to ease the tension between shapes and colors. By adding the energy of brush strokes, I guide the viewer’s eye to each corner of the painting. The exploration of different shapes and marks continues to evolve until I reach the veiling process. The veil adds daintiness, softness and tranquility to the overall look. This cohesive body of work is a combination of my cultural and personal experience. Out of gallery Ayesha Samdan, Dried Leaves, 2023, oil on canvas. Previous Next
