Cotton Candy Pass

“Cotton Candy Pass” is a stunning triptych by Rolinda Stotts, a masterpiece that exemplifies her signature Bella Rotta technique. Bella Rotta, meaning “beautifully broken,” involves the careful layering and intentional distressing of materials to achieve a textured, weathered effect that lends depth and character to the artwork.

In “Cotton Candy Pass,” Stotts takes viewers on a visual journey through a breathtaking mountain landscape. The three panels together create a panoramic view of towering peaks, vibrant forests, and a serene sky. The scene is a symphony of colors, with each element meticulously rendered to convey the beauty and tranquility of nature.

The central panel features majestic mountains capped with snow, rising against a brilliant blue sky dotted with fluffy, cotton candy-like clouds. Flanking the mountains are verdant evergreens and golden aspens, their leaves shimmering in the sunlight. The left and right panels continue the lush landscape, depicting more trees and a peaceful river that winds through the valley.

The Bella Rotta technique adds a rich texture to the piece, with cracks and layers that enhance the natural beauty of the scene. The colors are vibrant and dynamic, with blues, greens, yellows, and purples blending seamlessly to create a harmonious composition.

“Cotton Candy Pass” is a celebration of the serene and majestic beauty of the mountains, capturing the essence of a perfect day in the great outdoors. This triptych is ideal for those who appreciate the intersection of art and nature, offering a striking focal point that brings the splendor of the wilderness into any space.
