Acrylic, mixed media on acrylic panel.

23x36x1"

In creating this piece, I delved into Japanese symbolism like using the Enso circular brush stroke done with one sweep of the hand ...no planning no thinking just intuitive energy. Named "HARA" which means centre of the body in Japanese but also one's true nature, who one truly is as a human being, so it is not just a physical centre in the body but also of one's self. This painting is a harmonious blend of expressionism and minimalism. Embracing the tactile richness of acrylics, up-cycled collage elements, silver gilded touches, and the subtle sheen of pearl- like colours, I orchestrated a symphony of luminous rich textures- inviting touch This artwork is a contemplative gateway, inviting introspection and tranquil reflection, infusing any space with its calming energy and timeless elegance. Framed on a black contemporary frame.

Texture and light are two key elements in my work, as I aim to blur the line between painting and sculpture, inviting touch. The textured layers, are mainly created using a palette knife, laying them down thick and thin, scraping them, allowing some parts to come through. I also use multiple thin veils/layers of colour which are overlapped to create colour-fields and luminosity. It is the combination of the overlaying process that creates a highly textured and luminous final image. To achieve the patina, look in my paintings I use metallic paint and metal foils to achieve more luminosity.
