The first of the "Alchemy" series‚ this abstract painting is a metaphor for the dark in our psyches becoming transformed into light and colour. The "Alchemy" series itself is about this very idea; the notion of transformation into something much improved and precious. This work is evocative and mysterious‚ not unlike our deeper inner selves. The colours express this and have been applied in washes with some thicker painted areas. Some small marks of gold paint can also be observed‚ but the main colour scheme is that of reds‚ magenta and purple. This work is one that stimulates the imagination.
