A Heart So Big

An energetic abstract painting built from layers — with a glowing spiral of colors and vertical washes that pull color downward like rain on glass. At the center a warm, golden glow breaks through, rimmed with flecks of metallic-looking texture that catch the eye without shouting; around it, cool teals and aquas tread into deeper blues and occasional rust-reds, balancing warmth and cool like sun through water. The surface reads both smooth and rough: soft blurred washes sit beside crackling, grainy accents and what looks like delicate, leaf-like gilding. Those vertical streaks give the piece a sense of gentle motion. Symbolically it suggests a quiet transformation — an inner light coaxing its way through sediment, layers of time, and small pockets of color that refuse to disappear. Overall it’s restrained but alive, tactile and luminous in equal measure.
