FAME FRAME Gallery is honored to present Majestic Landscapes, an exhibition devoted to the grandeur, serenity, and timeless allure of the natural world as captured through the eyes of artists. Landscapes have always stood at the heart of artistic tradition: from the mist-veiled mountains of ancient scrolls to the sweeping horizons of Romantic canvases, they remind us of our eternal dialogue with nature.
Light shifts, seasons turn, and the earth itself breathes with a rhythm beyond human control. Yet within each work lies a moment distilled, a fleeting vision transformed into permanence. Every vista tells a story of solitude and wonder, of harmony and distance, of the sublime that humbles us and the beauty that sustains us.
With this exhibition, FAME FRAME invites you to step beyond walls into spaces unbounded, to witness how landscapes in art transcend geography and become visions of the soul.

Merit Award Winner Natalia Slushaieva, Golden Autumn
Oil on canvas Czech Republic
"In "Golden Autumn" I reflect on my personal experience of autumn as a season of quiet radiance. For me, this moment of the year carries a special harmony — the warmth of golden light, the softness of the air, and the calm that settles over the landscape. While working on this piece, I wanted to capture not only the visual richness of the season but also the sense of stillness it brings.
Using layered oil textures and a palette built around deep golds, ambers, and warm reds, I aimed to create a feeling of immersion — as if the viewer could step into the scene and feel the gentle breath of the forest. The reflections on the water and the movement of the foliage became a way to express both the vibrancy of change and the serenity that accompanies it.
This painting is a personal moment preserved in color and light — a memory of autumn’s quiet beauty and the peaceful clarity it leaves within me."
"Das isländische Moos - ein Geist in Gestalt der Stille - ein Zeichen, dass selbst im Frost des Nordlandes etwas Sanftes lebt."
Honorable Mention Leonora de Lange, House on the loch
Purist watercolours on 300 gsm cold pressed watercolour paper, 38 x 56 cm United Kingdom
"Painted from a photo I took while visiting Aileen Donan Castle."
Honorable Mention Evy Olsen Halvorsen, Astral Alignment with bunniesies
Oil on canvas, 34x40" United States
"This painting was a late bloomer, slow to find its way. It started with the half circle, I thought it might be a moonrise but that didn't work out, so I turned it upside down and found a landscape that needed rabbits observing the sky. Rabbits are always watching. Since I have been interested in alternate universes and realties for quite a while, that idea crept into the void, filled the stellar space."
Honorable Mention Annett Coumont, Clearing in the autumn forest
Watercolor on Cotton Paper 310gr., 31 x 41 cm. Germany
"Clearing in the Autumn Forest" captures one of those moments when light and nature enter into a silent choreography. The delicate layers of watercolor make the atmosphere almost transparent—as if you were standing in the forest yourself, holding your breath so as not to disturb the stillness. This work speaks of the special magic of transition: from late summer to autumn, from lightness to heaviness, of transience and simultaneous renewal. It invites us to recognize something lasting in the seemingly fleeting moment—the feeling of security, beauty, and connection to nature."
Oil on Canvas, 36 x 36 in (91 x 91cm) United States
Inspired by a scene near where I live here in Fort Collins, Colorado. Wild Turkey's crossing over the ridge, only spotted on the backside of the mountain.
Honorable Mention Henrik Bakmann, Yellowland
Digital collage Denmark
Honorable Mention Juleah Claar, Alpen Mirror
Digital photography Switzerland
"A quiet moment where the mountains meet their own reflection. Alpen Mirror captures the serene symmetry of Klöntalersee, the still lake transforming stone and sky into a single breath of calm."
Honorable Mention Ivana Babic, Wispers of the Forest
Acrylic on canvas. 50 x 50 cm. Italia
"Slender trees emerge from a mist of luminous colors, like voices whispering through layers of memory. Warm and cool tones intertwine in a dialogue of light, revealing the forest’s vital breath and its spiritual essence. A visual hymn to the connection between nature and spirit, between that which lives and that which listens."
Honorable Mention Jason Shih, Dawn at Sea
Painted ABS resin Taiwan
"Along the waves drove by azure winds, a golden dawn breaks over the Pacific Ocean. The sun shines with warmth and brightness, illuminating hectares of layered waves."
Honorable Mention Antoine Khanji, A day in the autumn
Acrylic on canvas, 30" x 40" Canada
"The artwork depicts a tranquil autumn scene with a road stretching straight into a bright, misty horizon. Tall trees with dense foliage line both sides of the road, their leaves rendered in muted greens, yellows, and touches of orange, reflecting the changing season. The ground is blanketed with fallen leaves, adding warm golden tones that contrast with the cool gray of the road. The light filters through the canopy, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The perspective draws the viewer's eye toward the distant vanishing point, emphasizing depth and inviting contemplation."
Honorable Mention Gerhard Kroyer, Twilight’s Embrace
Digital Painting Austria
"The majesty of lakes at sunset."
