The Lightness of Being

Rich with layered colors and brushstrokes that create a dynamic and somewhat chaotic visual experience, The Lightness of Being is a vibrant and textured abstract painting. Its palette prominently features warm hues like yellows and ochres, interspersed with cooler blues and dark purples, which together generate a sense of depth and movement.

Notice areas where the paint appears scraped or rubbed, revealing glimpses of underlying layers and adding to the tactile quality of the piece. The interplay of dark and light patches, along with scattered spots of bright color, guides the eye around the canvas, inviting deeper inspection.

Overlapping strokes, suggest complexity in feelings or situations, while the rough edges and interplay of colors symbolize tension, growth, or transformation. Its lack of distinct forms or figures encourages viewers to respond to the work with your own memories and associations, making it a deeply personal encounter.
