Luck
Oil on Canvas
170 x 210 cm
67 x 83 in
The inspiration for "Luck" was drawn from the ever-elusive concept of luck itself. I found myself pondering the mysterious forces that shape our lives, the serendipitous moments that alter our paths. Just like the cave painters of ancient times, I believe that artists possess a unique ability to influence change through their creations. This idea of being modern-day sorcerers, harnessing the power of art to make meaning from dust, sparked the creative energy behind this expressive painting.
With "Luck," I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation within its viewers. I want them to reflect on the unpredictability of life, the magic of chance encounters, and the subtle shifts that can profoundly alter our journey. Through the bold brushstrokes and vibrant colours, I hope to ignite a spark of curiosity, encouraging viewers to question the role of luck and fate in their own lives.
"Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style?"
The choice of oil on canvas as the medium allowed me to convey a sense of depth and complexity, creating layers of emotion that add to the enigma of luck. The subject matter, centered around luck and its intangible nature, allowed for a vast interpretation and emotional connection with viewers from various walks of life. The abstract expressionist style lent itself perfectly to capturing the fluidity and unpredictability of luck, granting me the artistic freedom to explore its essence through bold and evocative brushwork and soaking techniques.
This painting was one of the first in this series of Metamorphosis.
