SUPER NOVA
Oil on Canvas
2021
Size in inches: 18 x 36"
Size in cm: 45.7 x 91.4 cm
SUPER NOVA captures the awe-inspiring moment of stellar explosion—when a dying star releases all its accumulated energy in one magnificent burst of light and color. This dramatic 18x36 inch horizontal canvas radiates cosmic power and transformative beauty.
At the heart of the composition, brilliant golden yellows and radiant oranges explode outward in a spectacular display of luminosity. These incandescent tones evoke the intense heat and light of a stellar event, creating a central focal point that draws the eye irresistibly. The paint is applied with rich texture—thick impasto passages alternate with translucent glazes, creating a surface that seems to pulse and shimmer with its own inner light.
As the energy radiates outward, the palette deepens into burgundy, magenta, and deep purple—colors reminiscent of cosmic nebulae and the mysterious depths of space. Touches of teal, cobalt blue, and forest green emerge at the edges, suggesting the vast, cold expanse surrounding this moment of spectacular transformation. The darker perimeter creates a dramatic vignette effect, making the central explosion even more brilliant by contrast.
The painting evokes the sublime beauty of the cosmos while functioning as a meditation on transformation itself. Like a supernova, which represents both an ending and a beginning—the death of one star seeding space with elements that will birth new stars—this work speaks to cycles of transformation, the power of release, and the beauty inherent in profound change.
The horizontal panoramic format enhances the sense of cosmic scale and explosive energy spreading across space. The composition invites the eye to move across the canvas, discovering new color relationships and textural details with each viewing. Swirls, spatters, and layered passages suggest the chaotic beauty of cosmic forces at work.
Created through meditation practice, this piece channels the same explosive creative energy it depicts—moments when artistic vision bursts forth with unstoppable force, when something profound demands to be expressed.
