UK based ultra-contemporary Artist Rose Eads translates a lost language of the Earth, using watercolour, graphite and oil pencil. Painting auras, energy and sensory like imagery, derived from the patterns and colours in nature, she resurrects a forgotten deep rooted connection with the Earth and Water. Her work explores a harnessed energy of internal thoughts, painting eyes of our Earth, auras, energy fields, imagined galaxies, cells, unique painted codes, abstract landscapes and ethereal dreamscapes, All her works are created with the planets most life giving ingredient - Water.
“Our relationship with water fascinates me. It is the root of all that we are. From birth, to human physical life. Protected in water in the womb. Life giving, to the plants, the animals, to us.
An endless cycle from air, to land, to sea, to air once again, Invisible to the eye, but always constant. There’s something magical about using rainwater from the Jurassic Dorset Coastline in my work.
The land on the Jurassic Coast is filled with ancient fossils, millions of years old. Rainwater filters down through the rock, returning to the sky. Using rainwater in my painting’s, help capture the history of the Earth long forgotten, fossilised thoughts on paper. Working in this way allows for a deeper connection with the Earth, bringing the outdoors into your living space."
"All life is energy. Where our focus goes, our energy flows. We are all connected by water. The giver of all life."
Rose Eads lives and works on the Jurassic coastline of the United Kingdom. Living on ancient land ignites fuel to the spiritual meaning of her painted works.

"I believe that everything is energy. All life on Earth holds spirit and through every action, there is a reaction. An endless exchange of constant flowing energy. When a river flows it carries its spirit along with it. Its essence invisible, but as an artist I feel that energy. This is also because I have Synesthesia. A crossover of the senses in the body and mind that work together at the same time. I hear energy through a hum of sound and colour. I have spectrum aura synesthesia as well as associating words and all numbers with colour. When you step into a forest you are entering a network of conversation, both below and above ground. It may be unheard by human ears but it is there. A mountain speaks beneath the surface of the Earth, albeit silent to us. |
I was to take that essence of a river, of the forest, of a mountain and hold it physically in a closed loop in my hands, I would be capturing consciousness. Our ancestry and roots are becoming more and more blurred everyday. I try to remember and translate a lost language of the Earth in my work. I am slowly unfolding this language each time I paint, and in turn I am rediscovering my own roots.
My process when painting is a response to emotions felt in direct relationship to the natural world. My paintings depict a harnessed energy of captured consciousness. A sacred moment recorded in a closed circle. I try to resurrect and summon the deepest connection to our Mother, The Earth, for myself and the viewer.
I paint the spirit of water you feel, but never see. I paint the quiet smoke, under the mountain. I paint Eyes of the Earth. I paint from my soul core, but most of all, I paint what I feel we are forgetting and must try to remember.
We must find ourselves, and redefine ourselves, in these lost places with our Mother The Earth, in mind."
