Incoming / Becoming

'Incoming / Becoming' is a surrealist metaphorical painting featuring a figure peacefully sleeping within a large wave that is about to come crashing down. The work seeks to capture the feeling before life surprises us with an unexpected change, good or bad, that throws us into new circumstances and wakes us up to new beginnings.

Cynthia Howard is a contemporary artist working mostly in oil paints. Her concepts come from stream-of-consciousness and either manifest as the free-flowing lines in her colourful abstract figures, or as the surrealist undertones in her realistically painted compositions. Sometimes she combines realism with her abstract figures in one concept. Cynthia Howard’s work surrounds an interest in life philosophy, meaningful relationships and self actualisation. The portraits and subjects she portrays are treated with reverence, focussing on their self-ownership, strength and wholeness. Her paintings deal predominately with the richness of our internal psychological and emotional world and musings about how we radiate energy and intention in our outer world.
