TESSELLATIONS

Acrylic on canvas (40 x 50cm each)

Exploring movement and mood through colour hues, I’ve tried to evoke the feeling of looking through a tropical rainforest canopy where patches of sky always shine through, no matter how much darkness is around us … there will always be room for growth.

Inspired by the rainforest canopies of the Daintree Rainforest, this artwork tries to capture those moments where small patches of sky shine through the maze of nature.

These four artworks, collectively titled "Tessellations," explore the intricate dance of geometric forms and vibrant colours, symbolising the multifaceted journey of personal growth and well-being. Each canvas is a unique tapestry of tessellated patterns, where shapes and hues intersect and diverge, reflecting the complexity and beauty of our individual paths.

The use of bold, interlocking shapes represents the interconnectedness of our experiences. Just as each piece of the artwork contributes to the whole, every moment in our lives, whether triumphant or challenging, adds to the mosaic of our personal growth. The dynamic lines weaving through the compositions symbolise the fluidity of life's journey, reminding us that change and movement are constants.

The vibrant colour palette speaks to the diversity of emotions and lessons we encounter. The interplay of bright and subdued tones mirrors the balance we strive for in life—between joy and sorrow, action and reflection, challenge and ease. These artworks echo the themes of balance, harmony, and renewal, encouraging viewers to embrace every aspect of their journey with an open heart.

In the meticulous arrangement of shapes, there is a celebration of order emerging from chaos. "Tessellations" invites viewers to find beauty in the patterns of their own lives, recognising that every piece, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, has its place and purpose. These pieces inspire a sense of resilience and hope, urging us to see our experiences as stepping stones toward a more enlightened and fulfilled existence.

Through this series, the art serves as a visual metaphor for the process of self-discovery and transformation, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the intricate and ever-evolving nature of our personal growth and well-being.
