'That moment when the sunlight seeps through the tree canopy in the early morning, when the light bounces off the branches and speaks to your soul.' 

I have been obsessed with tree canopies for some time, never looking at my feet - always up to the heavens to watch the birds with their joy soaring above. My daily walks are my sanctuary, the trees are nature's strength, deep rooted and holding entire eco systems within them, interconnected with everything, from the earth to the sky. I love watching the changing leaves and branches through the year and am captivated by the 'Komorebi' of the sunlight seeking through.

Rich oil markings in shades of organic green and yellow create a lush, organic feel, while meticulously applied gold foils shimmer and shift with every change in light. Overlaid on the metallic base are expressive splashes and stippled patterns of forest green, lime, and pale yellow, giving it the appearance of sunlight filtering through a dense forest canopy. The interplay of these elements creates a dynamic surface that draws the viewer in, revealing new details with each glance, reflecting the tree canopy, reflecting the light from the window, the nature outside. A truly unique piece that brings warmth and sophistication to any collection.

The overall effect is one of luxury and natural vitality, balancing the industrial feel of the metal with the raw energy of the botanical colours.

About The Artist

K A Treble, aka Kati Kaia
b. Hong Kong
University of the Arts London; Ravensbourne College of Design

Abstract painter K A Treble creates large‑scale, expressionist artworks that explore the emotional and spiritual power of colour and mark‑making, painting riotus, elemental and textural canvases in a deeply physical process.

Working primarily in oil, she builds and erodes layers over time, revealing hidden textures and stories beneath the surface, using the palette knife to carve stories and etchings into the canvas. Her work brims with gestures and textures—inspired from modernist masters. It may feel familiar at first, but it will leave you feeling hit by something urgent and new. Based in the south-east of England in the Surrey Hills, she is inspired deeply by the nature, movement and the energy of the Surrey Hills AONB and the heart chakra of the earth.

Her recent musings are on human stories, human emotions, feeling the emotions within the body and grounding in abstraction within building of layers in an increasing artificial world.

Kati is part of the Womens Artist Art Week (WAAW) as well as the Visual Artists Association (VAA) - You can read more about her work at katreble.com >

Luminous, bold, energies…

When I close my eyes, turn inwards, tune into the nature surrounding us or inner work to my soul, my senses come completely alive, in visuals of bold colour, in marks of expression, I dream pure colour and dance across the canvas with the knife carving out stories with layers… To connect to the spirit within and evolve stories to bring joy

K A Treble, Kati Kaia

The artist's task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns... the artists, who are self-selected for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.

Terrence McKenna

Seeing people absorb art, try to read it, then simply surrender to the beauty, take in the colour fully and FEEL emotional connection what i’ve energetically put onto the canvas, see it reflect to their inner light, that’s the magic.’
