Lisa Free’s latest body of work represents an elegant evolution of her artistic process, embracing a more minimalist approach while maintaining the depth and sophistication that has defined her career. Known for her serene, ethereal paintings-ranging form seascapes to abstract compositions-Lisa’s signature use of layered oil paint has always created remarkable depth and texture, drawing viewers into a world of tranquility. In this new direction, the imagery has shifted, moving away from the familiar landscapes that once captivated her audience. Instead, the paintings now explore subtle, refined compositions that exude a quiet elegance. This transition should be seen not as a departure, but as a natural progression, where Lisa’s mastery of paint and surface continues to evolve, offering a fresh yet equally captivating experience.
