Mixed media on wood panel

“Lean to the light // Shed the past,” is a textured, emotionally charged composition that explores transformation, resilience, and release. The fragmented figure at the center appears to emerge from darkness, reaching toward an unseen source of illumination.
The artist’s use of mixed media introduces a dynamic contrast between organic, fluid brushstrokes and angular, mosaic-like textures. Deep blues and blacks dominate the composition, evoking a sense of weight and introspection, while warm yellows and oranges pulse through the figure, suggesting renewal and growth.
“Lean to the light // Shed the past” is perfect for collectors who appreciate abstract expressionism that bridges emotional depth with an arresting visual form, offering a moment of reflection on the power of transformation.
