Size in inches: 20 x 20"
Size in cm: 50.8 x 50.8 cm \"INTO THE SHIMMERING LIGHT" is a luminous exploration of light itself as subject and medium. This 20 x 20 inch square canvas embodies the artist's ongoing investigation into transcendence and the metaphysical properties of light, presenting a subtle, ethereal field of pale tones that shift and breathe across the surface.
Working within a restrained, light-saturated palette, Cimini creates a contemplative space where perception becomes meditation. The painting rewards sustained viewing, revealing nuanced variations in tone, texture, and luminosity that emerge gradually—like watching light change across a snow-covered landscape or clouds dispersing in morning sun. The square format reinforces the sense of wholeness and unity, creating a portal-like quality that draws the viewer into its radiant depths.
This work exemplifies the tradition of minimalist and transcendentalist painting while maintaining Cimini's distinctive atmospheric sensibility. The layered application of paint creates a surface that seems to generate its own internal light, shimmering with subtle chromatic shifts that exist at the threshold of visibility. It is painting as pure light energy—a visual haiku that distills the experience of illumination into its essential form.
Created in 2017, "INTO THE SHIMMERING LIGHT" represents a pivotal moment in Cimini's exploration of light as both subject matter and spiritual metaphor. The painting invites quiet contemplation and offers a respite from visual noise, creating a meditative focal point that transforms any space it inhabits. This is art that doesn't demand attention but rather emanates presence, embodying the artist's belief in the transcendent power of light and color.
