Artist Statement
The emotional tone juxtaposes control, represented by cool, muted colors, against the soft, warm hues of surrender. This collection showcases greyish blues and soft lavender as grounding fields, contrasting with vibrant accents of plum and cyan. The central area represents a collision of the two emotions, suggesting pressure against a prevalent calmness. The chosen palette reflects 'melancholy wonder', maintaining a delicate balance between the structured fault-like lines on the periphery and the flowing stair-like patterns that overlap into the center, creating a sense of conflict. The edges are deliberately dark, suggesting heaviness, while a quiet void in the center infers a lonely signal attempting to reach out. This interplay gives the piece depth and emotional resonance, embodying tension and release.
