Towards the Sun

In this piece, the artist explore the interplay between minimalism and emotional vastness where subtlety becomes strength and silence speaks volumes. Working in acrylic on canvas, I deliberately restrained the color palette, embracing rich gradients of blue to evoke an expansive atmosphere without resorting to grays. Instead, depth is articulated through layered tonal transitions and tactile surface manipulation.

The textured relief near the lower portion of the canvas was not painted to represent shadow, but sculpted so that natural light would interact with the surface, casting real shadows that shift with the environment. This dimensional approach transforms the work into a living, breathing entity, sensitive to its surroundings much like the emotions it embodies.

Brushwork remains integral to my practice, but here, it is measured each stroke calculated to render the illusion of space, movement, and transcendence. The gradient between sea and sky collapses into one emotional spectrum, situating the solitary figure not as falling, but floating suspended in a moment of detachment. This is not descent, but elevation.

A set of nearly imperceptible eyes hovers beside the figure rendered with the finest of linework, only visible upon close inspection. This ethereal element represents a divine presence: a constant, unseen force witnessing every act of surrender, every step toward transformation.

Ultimately, this work is a meditation on freedom, faith, and the gentle release of control. It captures the moment when we are finally where we are meant to be not because we landed, but because we let go.
