Artist Comments
Artist Crystal DiPietro captures a majestic mountain range inspired by an immersive backpacking adventure. Her loose brushstrokes create a sense of movement and spontaneity in the painting, mimicking the organic shapes of the rugged mountain range. "The focal point of the painting is the series of peaks that dominate the composition," says Crystal. With deep blues, she conveys the serene and ethereal atmosphere of the early morning light, gently kissing the tips of the towering mountains.

About the Artist
Artist Crystal DiPietro paints majestic sceneries inspired by her personal trips to beautiful untamed places. She creates landscapes as rugged and dramatic—setting her style apart from the usual soft and delicate perspectives of the genre. Crystal pursued art school in Washington, D.C., where she got to go behind the scenes in major galleries and explore hiking, a huge source of her work inspiration. She composes her work with bold natural views in unique angles, vibrant colors, and loose brushstrokes. With her own photography used as a reference, Crystal expresses the details in her paintings slowly, in layers, the same way a photograph develops. “I intend to show a subtle beauty where the viewer may never have thought to look,” says Crystal. Her work hovers between capturing a brief dream and a contemplative impression of the scene. She achieves this by allowing viewers to come away with new respect and appreciation for the worlds around them.
