Shift 12

This piece is from the “Shift Series” of small acrylic paintings which began as a necessary decision to “shift” the direction and scale of my work, while recovering from a serious back injury. Each painting comes from a place of deep, raw emotions, awareness and attention to a space for repose, contemplation and remembrance.

Subtle washes of blues and purples create a gentle surface, suggesting a space of tranquility. Hints of warm terracotta and muted pink peek through, softening the edges of the cool tones. This composition challenges preconceived notions by blending abstract forms with fluid gradients, pushing the boundaries of traditional perception. Viewers are encouraged to explore the calming environment it presents, offering a momentary retreat from the chaos of daily life. Integrating this creation into one’s surroundings may inspire mindfulness, providing a serene element that aligns with peaceful personal spaces.
