Through the fire FRAMED

Original artwork. Impasto , Oil paint & oil sticks on stretched canvas FRAMED in an oak gallery shadow box frame.  50cm x 50cm.

"Through the Fire" is an evocative piece that delves into the journey of overcoming life's challenges. The artwork is dominated by warm, intense tones—fiery reds, molten oranges, and deep, soldering browns. These colours create a moody, almost suffocating atmosphere, reflecting the emotional and psychological heat of enduring hardship.

At the centre of the piece, abstract forms suggest movement through a chaotic and tumultuous space, representing the trials one faces. These forms twist and contort, caught in the grip of struggle, yet they also give the impression of forward momentum—indicating resilience and the will to persevere.

As the eye moves across the canvas, the warm tones begin to lighten subtly, transitioning into softer, golden hues. This shift in colour symbolises emerging from the depths of difficulty into a space of renewal and healing. The contrast between the darker, more intense areas and the lighter sections underscores the transformation that comes from enduring and surviving adversity.

"Through the Fire" captures the raw intensity of struggle, yet it also offers hope—the promise that on the other side of hardship, there is light and peace.

Archival satin sealer has been applied to preserve the integrity of the pigments.

ARTIST BIO
Born and raised initially in the United States, prior to relocating to Australia
during her early childhood, Melbourne contemporary artist Anya Love
produces distinguishing and enigmatic works that interweave abstract and
representational art forms. Balancing innate shapes with highly
conceptualised renderings, these elements are depicted in a state of
beautified distortion to portray themes of interconnectivity, duality and
expansion. Describing a responsive and acclimatised state of existence on
the canvas, and summarising stories that resonate with her internal self, her
works embody these narratives through an intense degree of mark making,
organic gesturing and colour layering.

After acquiring a Diploma in Visual Arts, Anya went on to train in design, prior
too commencing a career in the photography industry. During her fifteen-year
tenure, she spent considerable time styling and methodically executed the
expression of form and composition. These experiences have since become
a resounding force behind the works she presently produces, and
photography remains an integral component of her creative process as she
shoots each independent layer of each work.

Remaining unbound to a single artistic methodology, she instead directs her focus largely towards the
emotional sensations that naturally materialise throughout the
developmental process. Her works are frequently rotated during their
creation to ensure each phase is worked on from four distinct perspectives,
with the final orientation revealing itself in the work’s concluding stages.

Anya currently accepts commissions and creates her works full-time inside her
Melbourne-based studio.
