Shift 17

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.

What underlies the gentle clash of hues that sweep across this composition? Here, soft waves of lavender and tangerine brush against each other, creating a quiet tension that speaks of both movement and stillness. The play of light against these pastel shades reveals layers of texture, where a hint of graininess contrasts with smooth expanses. Notice the subtle transitions between warm and cool tones, facilitating a moment of introspection. Such delicate arrangement in color and light creates a soothing yet stimulating visual experience. In summary, the gentle blending of colors offers a profound impact, leaving an impression of ethereal beauty and thoughtful energy.
