Description
An Original Abstract Floral Mixed Media Painting
Deconstructed is an original abstract floral mixed media painting. I invite you into a world of color, movement, and imaginative discovery. Oversized organic forms suggest blossoms and gardens without defining them, allowing familiar shapes to become something wonderfully unexpected.
Against a warm rose-colored background, expressive gestures sweep around rich layers of blue, green, violet, and orange. Delicate floral drawings float across the surface, while circular marks, geometric fragments, and accumulated textures reveal the my hand.
The result is playful yet sophisticated, abundant yet balanced. Each passage contributes to a painting full of individuality and character. 
Light From Within
Light is central to my painting language.
In Deconstructed, luminous chartreuse, turquoise, yellow, and orange emerge from richly colored darks. Shifts in color temperature, transparency, and opacity create a sense of depth and illumination that changes as the eye travels across the painting.
Sweeping pale gestures introduce brightness and movement, while the deeper passages give the luminous colors their strength.
The interplay creates an atmosphere of optimism, where complexity and harmony coexist and light is felt as well as seen.
A Celebration of Creation
Painted intuitively from imagination, Deconstructed celebrates the freedom to explore, experiment, and discover.
Its abstract floral language reflects the abundance and variety found in creation. No two forms are alike, yet each contributes to the character of the whole.
Traces of the painting’s development remain visible through layered color, expressive marks, and delicate lines. These individual moments invite closer exploration, offering discoveries that can become personal favorites and beginnings of conversation.
The painting’s joyful energy extends beyond the canvas, bringing warmth, visual interest, and a generous sense of possibility into the spaces where people live and gather.
