I'm excited to share this artwork with you—it's called "Transition." Measuring 29.5 by 36.5 inches and created with acrylic on canvas, this abstract painting has been a labour of love and a fascinating journey of creativity for me. When you look at "Transition," you'll immediately notice its dynamic brushstrokes and an exciting explosion of overlapping colours. The palette is dominated by earthy tones, with browns, oranges, yellows, and pinks taking centre stage, all interspersed with hints of black and grey. These colours blend and drip across the canvas in a way that conveys both movement and depth, making the artwork feel alive and ever-changing. The composition of "Transition" is intricate, featuring various shapes and forms that weave together to create a layered visual experience. It's vibrant and emotive, inviting viewers to pause and interpret the elements and emotions embedded within the textured application of paint. Each viewer might see something different, and that's the beauty of it—this piece really speaks to the personal interpretation of its audience. The inspiration behind "Transition" comes from a place of exploring change and complexity. Life is full of transitions, both big and small, and I wanted this painting to reflect that multifaceted nature. There's a certain chaos, a richness, and yet a harmony that comes with change, and I aimed to capture that in this piece. Creating "Transition" was a unique process for me. I experimented with layering techniques and played with the fluidity of acrylics to achieve the dripping effect and the blending of colours. This allowed the painting to develop organically, almost taking on a life of its own as the colours mingled and formed new shapes and tones. It was a very liberating and expressive experience, and I feel like each layer added another dimension to the final work. I hope "Transition" resonates with you as much as it does with me. It's a piece that encapsulates movement, emotion, and the beauty of change, inviting everyone who sees it to find their own meaning in its depths.

I am preoccupied by the intuitive journey that paint takes me on with its colour and texture when working with layers that can be revealed through scratching back, rubbing away or lifting, to bring back the history of the previous layers. Archive
