Description
Knock on Door (Series No 1), an oil painting on a 60×40 canvas, I explore the profound symbolism of entryways and opportunities through a visually compelling representation. The door itself serves as a powerful metaphor for the choices and chances that life presents us.
Inspired by the words of Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you” this artwork invites viewers to reflect on the nature of faith and the importance of action in pursuit of our desires.
The door stands tall, crafted with intricate details that speak to its history and the countless stories it holds. Its wooden texture is both inviting and mysterious, hinting at the unknown possibilities that lie just beyond its threshold. The soft interplay of light and shadow, characteristic of oil paints, accentuates the door’s character, evoking a sense of warmth and hope.
Through this piece, I aim to encourage viewers to ponder their own paths and the doors they may encounter.
“DOOR” is not just a physical barrier but a gateway to introspection, dreams, and the manifestation of one’s aspirations. It encourages an open heart and mind in the quest for fulfilment.
As you engage with this artwork, consider what doors you are seeking in your life and what steps you might take to reach them. May you be inspired to knock on the doors that beckon you forward in your journey.
