Aline Bittar Künzel (b. 1997, Brazil) is a Brazilian visual artist whose painting practice explores the shifting perceptions of landscape and human immersion within it. Working in ink, acrylic, and oil, her layered compositions examine the tension between the consoling and disquieting aspects of nature, often through elliptical, pond-like forms that emerge from intuitive, circular brushwork. Water serves as a central motif, reflecting both physical experience and philosophical inquiry inspired by Thoreau’s notion of the pond as “the earth’s eye.” Künzel’s multi-canvas works employ layering, cropping, and removal to navigate ambiguity of scale, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where intimacy, immensity, and the emotional resonance of landscape converge.
