Sunergy

Acrylic and oil on canvas. 16x20 inches. UV filtered varnish for protection against discolouration. Prints also available. 

Sunergy presents a striking portrait of a woman’s face basking in the sun emerging from a kaleidoscope of vibrant colour. Surrounding her features are bold swatches of paint—turquoises, oranges, reds, and yellows that swirl and clash with the impression of the glowing reflection of water. 

Orbiting her face are two Siamese fighter fish, their fins weave and unfurling like delicate silk almost as if they are floating in the air. The fish are painted with detail, their iridescent scales catching the light in shades of violet and turquoise. Symbolically, these creatures, known for their grace, beauty and aggression, add a layer of duality to the piece. The composition evokes surreal energy, strength and softness, motion and stillness in a meditative escape.
