Susan Adams draws inspiration from Costa Rica’s landscape and its people, specifically within the Guanacaste province, which has been her home for over 25 years. As an observer of daily life and culture, Susan Adams immortalises a diverse array of subjects, from cowboys and dancers to bull rings and traditional customs upheld by the eclectic spectrum of local people. Additionally, she depicts Costa Rica’s natural beauty, including its beaches, animals, and tropical life.
Blending impressionism and realism, Adams creates powerful paintings predominantly using oil on canvas. Her technique is distinctive; she starts with a stucco trowel to apply the gesso, occasionally layering metallic paint before introducing oil paint.
In “Emerald Curl,” a Guanacaste wave painting, Adams records the raw power of Costa Rica’s coast with a wave poised to crash onto the shore. The spray from the crest is illuminated by light, emphasizing the dynamic energy of the scene.
Adams balances deep blues and warm orange tones, evoking the atmosphere of a sunset over the ocean. This interplay of color highlighs the natural beauty of the Guanacaste beach. With no figures present, the Guanacaste wave painting represents the untamed, serene landscape, inviting viewers to fully engage with the coastal environment she portrays.
