Fragments of Horizon is a bold oil and cold wax painting that evokes a sense of vast, open landscapes through angular shapes and a vibrant color palette. Dominated by deep blues, ochres, and soft lavenders, the composition suggests a meeting of sky and earth, broken into geometric planes that intersect and overlap. The upper section is a bold expanse of textured blue, conveying the depth of the sky. Angular shapes in ochre, muted yellow, and lavender fill the lower half, reminiscent of rugged terrain or architectural forms.
A single black square with strokes of white stands out among the lighter colors, adding contrast and depth. This central dark element serves as an anchor within the composition, pulling the eye and creating a focal point within the layered forms. The brushstrokes are varied, with some areas smooth and others thickly textured, adding a tactile quality to the visual experience. Fine lines and scratches across the surface add detail, hinting at movement or shifting perspectives within the landscape.
Fragments of Horizon captures the essence of an abstracted landscape, breaking down the horizon into fragments of color and shape. The juxtaposition of vibrant blue and earthy tones evokes a sense of connection between sky and land, while the angular forms suggest both natural and constructed elements. This interplay of geometric shapes and layered textures invites viewers to explore the concept of boundaries and intersections—between sky and ground, light and shadow, calm and tension.
The composition can be interpreted as a meditation on landscapes remembered or imagined, exploring how our perceptions of place are often pieced together from fragmented memories. Through its bold colors and expressive geometry, Fragments of Horizon encourages reflection on the beauty and complexity of our surroundings, as seen through an abstract, multifaceted lens.
