Gillian Lazanik creates landscapes that shift with perspective—what appears abstract up close transforms into something familiar from a distance. Her work mirrors nature’s duality: chaotic in the details, yet effortlessly organized as a whole.
Much like walking through a forest, where sticks, leaves, and stones seem scattered underfoot, but the view becomes unified when you step back, her process embraces both disorder and clarity. The random tossing of tea leaves creates a lively chaos on the canvas, which resolves into landscapes we recognize when seen from afar.
Drawing on the unseen forces that shape our world, Gillian’s process is as much about discovery as creation. She allows natural mediums—tea leaves, preserved herbs, rubber coatings—to move across the canvas, letting nature’s logic take over. Scattered elements come together to form vast vistas, reminding us that everything, from forests to human existence, is built from countless small, interdependent parts.
Like nature itself, her paintings are ever-changing. They reveal something new with each glance—not through density, but through layered simplicity. Minimal and modern, yet rich with texture, they invite quiet contemplation and shift with the light, ensuring no two encounters are ever the same.
With a background in interior design, Gillian understands how composition shapes experience. Whether in a space or on a canvas, her work brings a sense of connection—reminding us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves.
