Gysen brings nature to life through his figurative painting, focusing on the subtle interplay of color, texture, and composition. His process begins with the creation of a meticulously crafted maquette in his studio—a scaled model that allows him to study form, light, and shadow in detail before translating it onto the canvas. This careful, hands-on approach is paired with his patient observation of the world around him, resulting in paintings that pulse with the vitality of nature itself. Rather than relying on bold, expressive strokes, Gysen achieves a delicate balance in his brushwork to create a deeply tangible reality. His art not only represents the natural world but also enriches it, merging nature and imagination into a quiet, poetic harmony.
