Breaking the Waves

This captivating artwork features intertwining figures with a striking blend of human forms, exuding emotion and connection. The composition showcases three figures, elegantly posed against a vibrant background that transitions from deep blues to soft purples. The bold use of angular lines and flowing curves creates a dynamic yet harmonious scene, emphasizing the contours of the bodies. Each figure has distinct features, enhanced by vivid orange hair that contrasts against the cooler background. The fluidity of their poses suggests movement and intimacy, invoking a sense of unity and connection. The overall mood of the piece balances between the dramatic and the serene, inviting the viewer to explore the depths of human expression.
This painting would be a remarkable focal point in various interior settings. It can enhance the ambiance of a modern living room, adding an artistic touch that sparks conversation. Additionally, it would fit beautifully in a contemporary office space or a creative studio, inspiring thought and creativity. Placing it above a minimalist sofa or a sleek desk can create a balanced aesthetic, while warm lighting will highlight the intricacies of the artwork.

I work in a mixed technique where fluid layers of acrylic and then oils interweave with outlines crisply drawn with Pierre Noire or crayon, probing the pull between control and surrender. The resulting artworks can be displayed in all directions, as their story is one of constant flux and cyclical time. I aim for a continuous quality where nothing has an endpoint, and one movement flows into the next, like a ribbon. Since every figure depicted is a real person in my life featured in multiple works created over the course of decades, I also see this imagery as an exploration of the concept of reincarnation: “Every lifetime, we meet the same circle of souls, to say thank you or to say sorry, and once again exchange our roles”.
