Byzantine Dreams, Abstract Painting

2025

Artist Comments
Small, repetitive shapes arranged in grids form a meditative pattern. At the center, a rectangular focal point with mysterious abstract text evokes memories and dreams. Iridescent paint adds a subtle shimmer, while underlying wooden tones enrich the surface with texture and glow, lending an old-world quality to this modern abstract. Artist Terri Bell draws inspiration from the intricate paintings and mosaics of the Byzantine Empire in this work.

About the Artist
Artist Terri Bell creates geometric abstracts with harmonious colors and intricate patterns. From childhood, she aspired to a creative path and pursued art in college, receiving invaluable mentorship. Her journey took unexpected turns, making a few detours and eventually changing her major to political science. This led her to work in a high-profile state government position for many years. However, Terri's creative spirit remained unwavering. "Art was the balance in my life, and I never gave up my dream," shares Terri. Through hard work and determination, she returned to her calling as a full-time career artist. Terri currently operates from her home studio in Denver, Colorado, which, while slightly cluttered, exudes a cozy charm. When she's not painting, Terri finds pleasure in cooking, container gardening, and spending time with her husband and two Yorkies.
