Annette Price Art

I am a London-based abstract artist who finds inspiration in the fluid and dynamic nature of water. I'm drawn to its enigmatic beauty: the way it gracefully interacts with the landscape, dissolving and reshaping the soil, silt, and rocks it flows over, changing their very essence. Its shimmering surface mirrors light in a delicate dance with its surroundings, whether reflecting trees and sky in a rural stream or the bustling energy of a city at night within a small puddle.

Yet beneath its surface lies another story: an entirely different ecosystem, teeming with fish, aquatic flora, and a multitude of tiny water insects. Through 30 years of combining kayaking and diving with photography, I have been privileged to visit wild, wet places, rivers, seas, and even canals, both above and below. I have witnessed their awesome beauty and power, experienced their violence first hand, and seen sparkling bioluminescent plankton whilst night diving.

My abstract paintings are an emotional reaction to these experiences. Working in mixed media, I build layers of texture and colour using sand, gravel, leaves, acrylic paint, and metal leaf. My aim is to capture what water means to me: both calming and energising, beautiful yet violent, transparent yet reflecting everything around it.
