Pathway

Description

Pathway serves as a potent metaphor for life’s uncertain journeys. A central, luminous passage, rendered in luscious, warm impasto strokes of orange, gold, and yellow, cuts through a deep and enigmatic expanse of violets, indigos, and midnight blues.

The colour theory at play is central to the work’s emotional weight; the inviting warmth of the path irresistibly pulls the viewer forward, while the cool, dark surroundings suggest the unknown, the mysterious, and perhaps the perilous. The artist masterfully creates a compositional tension that mirrors the internal human experience of stepping into a new phase of life, a pull towards a future that is simultaneously attractive and scary.
