Shift 32

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.

Emerging from a fusion of rich hues, this creation presents a compelling exploration of color and form. Deep reds intertwine with shades of purple and orange, creating layers that shift and mingle fluidly across the surface. The use of transparent gradients and textured brushwork symbolizes volume, prompting viewers to consider the artist's intentions and the emotions behind each selection. These engaging colors stretch the boundaries of abstract expressionism, inviting thought on how color communicates beyond words. Perhaps this work encourages a reconsideration of the impact of color on our perceptions and experiences, revealing endless possibilities for creative expression.
