This painting, created in the artist’s late twenties, draws inspiration from the grandeur of Baroque ceiling frescoes, with its sweeping composition and dramatic use of light. The piece captures a radiant explosion of color, where warm oranges and browns blend with cool blues and purples, converging toward a luminous center. The textured surface and intricate layering of hues evoke the depth and movement characteristic of Baroque paintings, while the non representational aspect reflects the influence of late twentieth century art currents. This work bridges classical and contemporary approaches, resulting in a visually powerful and immersive experience that transports the viewer into a celestial scene.
