This week’s Art Pick of the Week is “Storms over Keissino” by Kijiermono (who is maybe actually an alter ego of artist Guillermo de Llera).

This is a gorgeous scene of approaching storms rolling over the mountains, with an extremely warm and inviting energy.

The color palette is expressive, almost hyper-real, with glassy water in the foreground, red mountains in the far distance, and golden storm clouds boiling in the background. Taking in the entire landscape inspires a sense of wonder, a desire for exploration, and the deep breath of escape. The fantastic, the unreal, is especially captured by the colors and the mark making.

Even with some inspection, it’s unclear whether this is a digital piece or a traditional watercolor, but the texture of it suggests that it’s likely digital work. But, it’s doing a really good job of looking un-digital. (Also, a little Googling revealed this Tweet, suggesting a workflow that’s at least mostly digital.)

A very large print of this would look great on a feature wall or in a bedroom, or as a calming presence in a wide hallway or entry space.
