Poetic landscape atmosphere.
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot did not paint landscapes as harsh, literal transcriptions of reality. Instead, he painted memories of landscapes. His work is characterized by a soft, silvery atmosphere that blurs the harsh lines of the world, creating a poetic, dreamlike state.
Often placing small, solitary figures within vast, misty groves of trees, Corot achieved a sense of quiet nostalgia. His landscapes are less about a specific geographic location and more about the emotional resonance of nature—the feeling of the damp morning air or the fading light of evening.

"Corot’s mastery of atmospheric perspective and his muted, silvery palette heavily inform my approach to capturing the mist-shrouded ruins of the Scottish highlands."
