She says " I relish the contrast between a solid rock above the surface and its restless reflection below; the realistic depiction of a floating daisy versus its abstract, refracted counterpart. I marvel at how a flower can take on a new identity when floating below the surface and I strive to capture its ever-changing shape".
Ester believes water holds elements of fantasy and imagination so is easy to become enchanted with, where anything can happen and the unusual is never questioned, "The world above water, ever brilliant, solid, and warm, can be at times rigid or harsh, and needs to be tempered by the softness and coolness below. My endless challenge, as an artist and as a human being, is to find a balance between the two".
Her Art works brillantly with what I'm working with now, firstly she uses this idea of untouched potential of pebbles and water with this drawing technique of pastels and pencil, which is something I would like to incorporate into my work, secondly her work is bright and aluring with the colours used, which is exactly what I need in my new work to show that I have implemented ideas from my previous work.
