Travelogue, Trine Bumiller, 2006, oil on canvas, 78 x 108 in. / 198.12 x 274.32 cm.
“Travelogue” unfolds as a collage of impressions, layering silhouetted botanicals, radiant bursts of yellow blossoms, and patterned fields of color. Each panel becomes a page in a visual diary, its fragments forming an image of nature as remembered through travel. The repetition and juxtaposition of motifs suggest a rhythm of movement, while the geometric layout grounds the work in structure, echoing both memory and mapping.
Vox, Trine Bumiller, 2008, oil on canvas, 125 x 72 in. / 317.5 x 182.88 cm.
“Vox” carries a more celestial tone, its constellation-like dots, swirling water forms, and trailing white lines evoking sound and motion across space. The red foliage, tumbling across panels, anchors the imagery in the earthly, while the ethereal marks rise toward abstraction. The piece embodies its title, voice, suggesting the layered voices of the natural world, from rustling leaves to the vast quiet of the cosmos.
Plethora, Trine Bumiller, 2006, oil on canvas, 78 x 120 in. / 198.12 x 304.8 cm.
In “Plethora,” an abundance of organic silhouettes bursts across interconnected panels, creating a dense but luminous field of flora. The interplay of red, yellow, and green generates a vitality that vibrates with life force. Unlike the more measured rhythm of “Travelogue,” here the energy is almost overflowing, a lush testament to growth, resilience, and natural interconnectedness.
Bumiller’s works operate as living mosaics, fragmented yet whole, personal yet universal. By layering nature’s forms into assembled panels, she mirrors how memory, time, and environment overlap in human consciousness. Her paintings offer not just images of the natural world, but experiences of it, broken down, reassembled, and ultimately renewed.
