Traces of Time, Abstract Painting

2025

Artist Comments
Soft turquoise and vibrant reds create a striking contrast while shimmering gold leaf symbolizes the returning sunlight and the promise of renewal. The layers of form and color depict the passage of time. A compass, subtly stenciled into the composition, represents guidance and finding one's way through life. The artwork draws inspiration from the shifting energy of winter yielding to spring, the quiet stillness giving way to new life.

About the Artist
Artist Cynthia Ligeros reinvents contemporary abstract art with inexhaustible creativity. She incorporates impressionist sentiments that reveal inner transcendent landscapes to the viewer. “Art can have a powerful organic and spiritual presence,” says Cynthia. "I seek to explore our place in a world that we have created, yet one which also creates us." Her paintings often begin with a single driving emotion—colors, cycles, and feelings of the environment heavily shape what her compositions develop into. As she paints, she redefines the spaces around us and how they connect to our lives. She draws inspiration from nature against contrasting artifices of industrial spaces. Currently residing in Colorado, she has a special fondness for the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. In all her work, she tucks a hint of blue skies hidden somewhere.
