Oil painting of mist drifting through a steep forested mountain gully, dark pines emerging from white fog

Defiant Topography

Oil on canvas · 900 x 600 mm · 2025

Fog hides most of the mountain. It improves it.

About

Kia ora! I'm Anton.

A painter in Rolleston, Canterbury. Oils on canvas and panel, since 2015. Formally trained at the Moscow School of Fine Art and Design.

Mostly skies and quiet things: the Southern Alps, forests, lakes. Ten-odd years of looking up. Paintings have ended up in private collections across New Zealand and overseas, which is more travelling than I tend to do.
