Artwork Description

In this oil painting a figure illuminates the dark. Loosely inspired by chakra theory, the light source radiates from her heart centre but also travels in a spiral down to her core and travels above to her voice (and though unseen in the painting presumably travels to her mind as her eyes are the same luminescent blue). The style of the painting is in a contemporary abstract sensibility: ‘The Light’ is a metaphor for our ability to be our own source of light and power and not merely passive reflections of our environments.

Artist Bio

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.
