Artist Comments
Blocks of vibrant pinks and blues, highlighted with yellow, radiate an uplifting sense of energy. While the figure appears firmly planted in the foreground, there is a subtle impression that she leans into a dynamic movement. This painting explores the theme of hope through light, shape, and color.
