Dominic Virtosu paints large, colour-saturated canvases in oil, moving between dense jungles, dreamlike figures, horses and pure abstraction. He works intuitively with colour and texture, building each canvas in layers until the image feels alive.

I start with colour and let the painting tell me where it wants to go.
Series
Jungles is Dominic Virtosu's ongoing series of large-scale jungle paintings. Layered foliage in oil, spray paint and pigment, often painted left-handed in a very intuitive and spontaneous gestural approach. Each canvas is less a botanical study and more of a journey into the artists' subconscious, where leaves, light and colour overgrow every certainty. This series begun in 2018 and stemmed from the idea of a deliberate letting go - a freeing of the mind, a liberation of gesture and a dive into the unknown.
"I wanted to grant myself permission to feel lost" (Dominic Virtosu)
