'Reaching For The Stars' (2025)
Acrylic on canvas. Unframed.
39" x 39" / 100cm x 100cm
This painting
builds on a similar expressive, figurative abstraction but feels more dynamic and theatrical. It leans further into symbolism and movement, giving it a slightly more immediate visual energy.
This composition feels more expansive. The figures are spaced in a way that suggests performance or interaction across a stage- like space. The raised arms, extended limbs, and varied poses introduce rhythm and motion—almost like a frozen moment in a dance or ritual.
The abstraction of the background into colour fields helps separate emotional zones rather than depict a literal environment. There’s a sense of expression, performance, or even celebration. At the same time, the figures don’t fully connect with each other, preserving a subtle ambiguity.
Please be advised, a tray frame would add about an inch to the size of the canvas.
Screen colours can vary among computers, so please be aware that there may be a slight variation in real life. Every effort has been made to represent the artwork most accurately to the original painting.
