Springing from shadows

Concept

This abstract painting suggests me both a sense of great energy and of enchantment. In creating it, I was inspired by the shimmering lights on the rivers at sunset in winter, where the atmosphere seems to be engulfed in gold. It's a very emotional artwork, full of drive, inspiration and freedom. I love its resolute look.

Technique

The surface of this mixed media work is created with sand and paper. It's then painted with acrylic colors, metallic pigments and glossy varnish that emphasises the pale rose gold tones and the black shadows. Being richly textured, it gives the viewer both a visual and a tactile experience. Also, the metallic pigments and the varnish allow the painting to shine in different ways depending on the light of the room.
