“Pencil Mountains” is the debut piece from emerging artist Olivia Bomzer, marking the beginning of a colourful journey through nature, emotion, and imagination. This vibrant 8x8 inch acrylic painting was inspired by Olivia’s love of nature and exploring, as well as her deep connection to color as a source of joy, comfort, and inspiration. The piece features striking, mountain-like black zig-zags rising boldly from a multi-hued rainbow backdrop—symbolic of the personal mountains we climb, and the creativity that carries us through. The layered landscape below, dotted with sprinkles of color, evokes fields of growth and renewal, grounded in the natural world.
The title “Pencil Mountains” reflects not only the mountainous shapes but also the power of artistic expression and the tools we use to shape our world. For Olivia, this painting is a representation of overcoming emotional and creative challenges—using art as a form of therapy and empowerment. Whether you see it as a landscape of the mind, a field of feelings, or simply a burst of joyful color, “Pencil Mountains”invites you to find your own meaning in its vivid layers.
