Artist statement
A Bold, Sensory Journey into Color and Texture
I Am Looking for the Light is a mesmerizing work that envelops the viewer in its vibrant energy and compelling texture. With its radiant pink background, this painting immediately captures attention, drawing you into a world where color and sensation merge. The striking hues evoke a sense of warmth and emotion, but it’s not just the colors that hold you—it’s the physicality of the paint itself. This is a work that calls you closer, inviting not only your gaze but your touch.
The thick layers of oil paint, applied directly from the tube, create a surface so rich and tactile, you’ll feel compelled to reach out and explore its texture. Each brushstroke and dab of paint is deliberately placed, creating a dynamic, almost sculptural effect. The pinks are alive with energy, swirling and building volume in ways that suggest movement and life, as though the painting itself is reaching for something just out of view. It's a piece that seduces the eye and engages the senses in a way that only truly textured works of art can.
Set on a substantial 6 cm (2.36 inches) deep stretcher frame, I Am Looking for the Light practically leaps from the wall, commanding presence in any contemporary space. The thick, bold frame amplifies the dynamic nature of the painting, allowing it to stand out and create a striking focal point in any room. Whether displayed in a modern home, a gallery, or a private collection, this piece is designed to spark conversation and to be experienced, not just seen.
More than a mere composition of color, I Am Looking for the Light is a vivid expression of spontaneous creativity—a celebration of light, texture, and the quest for meaning. The boldness of the painting will bring warmth, intrigue, and an unforgettable touch of contemporary elegance to any environment.
Owning I Am Looking for the Light means bringing into your life not just a work of art, but an invitation to experience color in its most dynamic form. It is a piece that invites you to revisit the sensations of light, warmth, and the emotional pull of its powerful texture, again and again.
