Artwork Description

Ascension

0.0 x 0.0

Ascension is an abstract expression inspired by the irrepressIble spirit of joy. The constrictive black bars are a metaphor for the circumstances or institutions that try to imprison our creative nature, and the peaked texture of red wounds are a reminder of the painful struggles that we’ve faced and overcome. Throughout all these obstacles, the blue flame of the spirit pushes through and grows stronger because of them, ever reaching towards greater heights of light, peace, and self-actualization. (Ascension is unique in that its peaks of texture near the center are quite raised, up to a half inch or more above the surface of the canvas. This is to accentuate the turmoil and the power of where the “wounds” and the spirit meet.)
