Description

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.

“Jaguar Fantasy”, a rainforest painting, features a prowling jaguar beneath a large tree, with a quetzal bird quietly perched to the left and a capuchin monkey tucked into the branches on the right. These animals, native to Costa Rica, are surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, such as orchids and Heliconia.

The range of green tones in the rainforest painting with pops of striking colour creates a contrast that emphasises the energy of the rainforest while also reinforcing an otherworldly quality to the scene.
