Shift 9

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.

Layers of translucent hues cascade across the surface, transitioning from soft coral to deep violet, suggesting gentle movement. This work encourages exploration of delicate shifts of color, where each layer seems to reveal the artist's intent. The blending hints at subtle gradations, drawing from abstract expressionism and capturing an essence of serenity and introspection. Perhaps this creation challenges a hurried world by offering a moment for pause and thought. How does its gentle, flowing form reflect or resist the current pulse of artistic expression? A conversation unfolds, where each gaze brings fresh understanding, promoting exploration beyond the ordinary.
