Facets 1
Oil on Canvas
2020
Size in inches : 48 x 48"Size in centimeters: 121.9 x 121.9 cmFACETS 1 explodes with raw vitality and transformative energy in this commanding 48x48 inch canvas. The first in the celebrated Facets series, this painting captures the exuberant, unpredictable nature of spiritual awakening through bold gestural abstraction and luminous color.
Vibrant chartreuse and golden yellows surge through the composition like flames or unfurling petals, creating a sense of upward movement and emergence. At the heart of the painting, a mysterious central form—perhaps a vessel, a chalice, or a blooming flower—holds space in deep navy and slate blue, grounding the explosive energy surrounding it. Coral pinks, burnt oranges, and touches of crimson add warmth and complexity, while drips and runs of paint at the lower edge suggest the organic, uncontrolled flow of creative force.
Unlike the geometric precision of later works in the series, Facets 1 embraces spontaneity and gestural freedom. The brushwork is confident and energetic, with layers of translucent color building depth and luminosity. Paint is applied both thickly and thinly, creating rich textural variation that catches light and reveals the history of the painting's creation. Areas of calm meet moments of chaos, reflecting the dynamic nature of transformation itself.
This work channels the wild, joyful energy of spring—of things bursting forth, breaking open, revealing their inner light. It's about emergence, about the courage it takes to unfold, about the messy beauty of becoming. The painting doesn't ask viewers to contemplate quietly; it invites them to feel the pulse of creative energy, to remember their own capacity for transformation and renewal.Original contemporary painting, oil on canvas measures 40 x 40” Geometric structure with painterly execution with an empty focal point near the center of the painting symbolizing the emptiness found in the "Present moment"
