From lessons on darkness, she takes us on a journey that calls us to life through mysterious paradises where heaven and earth mingle and we lose the limits of our human spaces. Some of her canvases
show blazing skies untouched by storms, reminding us of Turner whom the artist admires. But she is not his disciple. She follows her own interior path with a romantic soul and broad culture.
From sunny landscapes, Hilton takes us to expanses of turquoise and grey-blue waters. In these works, she plays at confusing our thoughts and imagination. She composes aquatic canvases where the fluid texture of her paint evokes notes like the peaceful rhythm of incoming waves on a Mediterranean beach, whereas she may be referring to the shores of the Bosporus or crossing a Michigan Lake.
It is her quest for happiness through lunar-solar landscapes that make us understand that those moments of real pleasure and well-being are fleeting. She separates the azure from darkness and dreams of sparkling stars. In her work, everything is calm and of a quiet strength, just like Hilton herself, a beautiful and graceful woman with a powerful will to explore the intricasies of life.
