Andanzas XXIII

This painting is about energy, movement, motion and emotion, light and depth. Truly gestural and energetic brush strokes, create a very dynamic composition, where the figurative and abstract elements in the painting play freely. A subdued palette of mostly blues, violets, greys and ochres gives elegance and sobriety to an otherwise very animated painting. This is part of the series of Walking Figures, walking for me is a metaphor for the journey of life. My figures are walking in the light and towards the light, which is our essence and destiny. This is a vision of humanity and animals ascending to the light. The painting is richly painted in many layers, creating a texture that invites a tactile response.
