12 × 8. Sublimated on polished slate
This painting is a mixed-media collage that combines an expressive abstract style with a vintage black-and-white photograph at its centre. The photograph features three young girls sitting close together with their arms around each other, symbolizing friendship and togetherness.
Surrounding the photograph, the painting is composed of bold, textured geometric shapes and colours, including rich golds, deep purples, vibrant oranges, and streaks of blue and red. The different materials and painting techniques, such as splattered paint, rough textures, and smooth colour blocks, create a dynamic contrast between the nostalgic photograph and the contemporary abstract elements.
The combination of styles suggests a blend of past and present, evoking themes of memory, connection, and artistic expression. The warm and earthy tones alongside the structured, almost quilt-like arrangement of shapes give the piece a sense of balance and harmony.
