Giorgia Bel (b. 1990) began painting in 2015 during a period of illness, finding in art both a refuge and a way of connecting more deeply with the world. Entirely self-taught, her practice has evolved into a meditation on landscape, memory, and the spaces between what is seen and what is felt.

Her paintings are often described as dreamlike: layered with milky, earth-softened colour and suffused with the tones of dawn and dusk. Through skeletal trees, blurred horizons, and Rothko-like washes, Giorgia creates landscapes that are at once familiar and imagined. Guided by a philosophy of art as medicine, she invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and breathe.

As Krinklewood’s first Artist in Residence, Giorgia’s works mark a new chapter in how we share the estate's story — not just in the glass, but on the canvas.

"From my veranda I paint, observing how water, mountain and sky dissolve into a single, living form. Silence moves like light across the canvas: sunrise warming, sunset softening, dusk holding its breath.

Each work is conceived as a quiet bow to the land that held me, and to the beauty present in each day for those who pause to see it."
