I wanted the painting to have a playful, warm energy. Be beautiful and vibrant. I wished to recreate the feeling of excitement and the vibrancy of tiny molecules and particles as seen in microscopic and sub-atomic images.
Thus, this painting belongs to my ‘Life Enlarged’ series and looks at the tiny minutiae of life and objects... what is real but cannot be seen with normal sight. In this artwork I also wanted the background to have a dynamic power as well as the round forms dancing across the surface. The background is richly textured and in places there are drips, gestural brush-marks and shifting tonalities.
There is also an illusion of raindrops and the random patterns these make on windscreens or concrete pathways and how beautiful this is but also connects with cellular patterns on a microscopic slide.
What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as they contemplate these building blocks of life.

Jacquelyn Stephens is a Melbourne based artist who has been successfully exhibiting her paintings for over 20 years since completing a BFA in Painting at the Victorian College of the Arts. Over the years she has had several successful solo and group exhibitions in commercial galleries and artists run spaces. Her paintings can be seen in many media publications and are held in private collections worldwide.

All paintings are varnished with Professional Quality Artists Varnish, once they have been photographed. This gives a protective surface and an exquisite sheen that really makes the colors powerful & eye-catching.

FRAMING IS NICE BUT NOT NECESSARY. The painting is on canvas wrapped around traditional wooden stretcher bars with edges that are a smart 3.5cm deep. The edges are cleaned, staple free and painted a neutral cream to compliment the painting.
If you would like it framed it can be arranged at an additional cost.
Painting is signed, titled and dated on the rear side and ready to hang with picture wire across the back.
