As an artist who thrives on exploring the whimsical relationship between form and space, I'm thrilled to unveil "Fickle Heart." Measuring 24x24 inches, this acrylic on canvas creation invites you into a world where geometric abstraction dances upon a lush green backdrop.
"Fickle Heart" is an exploration of shape and relation—a canvas where vivid geometric designs interact and resonate with each other. Anchored by a hand outlined in black on the right, the hand is adorned with alternating yellow and red stripes, creating a bold focal point amidst the dynamic symphony of elements. Scattered rectangles in deep reds and vibrant oranges make appearances around the canvas, some detailed with crosshatched or dotted patterns, adding layers of intrigue. A triangular form with a muted border and a striking red center offers a new perspective, completing this harmonious interplay of forms.

The inspiration behind "Fickle Heart" was born from a playful curiosity about how shapes relate in a shared space. Each component was thoughtfully placed, challenging both the expected and unexpected interactions. Is there a right place or position? The piece begs the viewer to consider this while the eye wanders through its geometric pathways, encouraging a personal journey through form and color.

Creating this artwork was an engaging experience that allowed not just my hands but my eyes and mind to travel between the shapes. Each brushstroke added depth and texture, unearthing an ever-evolving dialogue that stems beyond static art, offering a living interaction. The result is a rich tapestry of reds, yellows, and greens, contrasted by dark outlines that invite viewers to both admire and question the spatial dynamics within the frame.

In "Fickle Heart," I invite you to lose yourself in its colorful embrace, to pause and consider the significance—or insignificance—of form and placement. May this piece invite contemplation and spark conversations as you find yourself woven into the narrative of shapes and colors. Each glance uncovers new stories and meanings that are as fickle as the heart itself. Allow yourself to be part of this geometric exploration and discover what "Fickle Heart" whispers to you.
