Burial Forest: A Journey into Geometric Abstraction
As an artist, I find inspiration in the endless possibilities of shape, color, and texture. My latest artwork, "Burial Forest," is a testament to this fascination, inviting viewers to explore a vibrant abstract landscape. This 24 x 24-inch piece, crafted with acrylic on a wood panel, showcases a complex interplay of geometric forms layered meticulously across the canvas.
"Burial Forest" features an engaging array of triangles and rectangles, each filled with intricate circular patterns and dots. The canvas bursts with bold hues of yellow, pink, blue, and green, bringing each shape to life. These lively elements seem to dance against a richly textured backdrop composed of darker reds, purples, and browns. This stark contrast between foreground and background is instrumental in creating the dynamic sense of movement and depth that I aimed to achieve.
The inspiration behind "Burial Forest" stems from my love for multilayered compositions that captivate the viewer's attention and fuel the imagination. The eye-like shapes scattered throughout the piece invite onlookers to delve deeper, uncovering a milieu of forms that may resemble animals or abstract figures, depending on one's perspective. It's this diversity in interpretation that I find truly remarkable—how an artwork can simultaneously tell multiple stories.
Creating this piece was a unique journey, driven by a need to balance an interesting foreground with an integrated yet complex background. My goal was to construct a visual narrative that draws the observer in, encouraging them to explore and reflect on the intricate relationships between color, form, and texture.
Through "Burial Forest," I hope to offer a visual retreat where imagination can flourish amidst a symphony of geometric patterns and vivid colors. It is an invitation to pause, observe, and become enveloped in the abstract, ever-changing dance of shapes and shades that defines the heart of this artwork.
