Pascal Vida is a German-born, Brisbane-based artist known for richly textured landscapes that sit somewhere between the familiar and the imagined.
Working with layered surfaces, strong colour and simplified forms, Pascal creates landscapes that feel atmospheric rather than strictly representational. Expansive skies, distant horizons, lone trees, still water and small solitary figures or birds regularly appear throughout his work, giving each piece a strong sense of scale and quiet contemplation.
Texture is central to Pascal’s practice. Built-up surfaces and visible marks give his paintings a tactile quality, while restrained compositions allow the landscape itself to carry the mood. His works often balance stillness with drama — from soft, dreamlike scenes to deeper, more intense colour palettes.
Now based in Brisbane, Pascal brings together his European background and his experience of the Australian landscape to create works that feel both grounded and slightly otherworldly. His paintings invite the viewer to slow down, look into the distance and find a moment of stillness within the landscape
