Oil on paper
21×29.7 cm
As an artist, I’m always drawn to the power of titles to elevate an abstract work. My recent oil painting on paper, “Descending Sky I,” is a case in point. While the swirling colors and textures invite individual interpretation, the title itself offers a captivating prompt. Let’s delve into the possibilities that “Descending Sky I” evokes.
The title “Descending Sky I” hints at a narrative, a movement within the painting. Is it a literal sky, perhaps a stormy expanse with swirling blues and grays collapsing inwards? Or is it a shift in perspective, a vast celestial dome coming closer as we tilt our heads upwards?
Abstract art often reflects emotions, and “Descending Sky I” is no exception. The use of cool colors and the downward motion implied by the title could suggest a sense of introspection or melancholy, a somber mood settling over the viewer. Perhaps it’s a meditation on impermanence, a reminder of the ever-changing nature of the world around us.
The “I” after “Descending Sky” sparks curiosity. Is this the first in a series? If so, each piece could offer a glimpse into a different descending sky, a unique exploration of emotions and movement.
Ultimately, the beauty of abstract art lies in its ability to ignite the viewer’s imagination. What story does “Descending Sky I” tell you? Does it evoke a sense of peace or disquiet? Do you see a celestial event or something more symbolic?
