Water bursts through the darkness, cascading down in a powerful torrent. Diagonal flows of blue and white light cut through the dark space of the gorge, leaving transparent traces on the rocks. This is a moment of breakthrough — when light and movement triumph over static darkness.
This work was born from a transformation — when the original composition caused discomfort, the artist decided to take a bold step: to paint a new one over it. Thus this waterfall of light emerged — a symbol of liberation and renewal. Sometimes one must pass through darkness to find one's path.
Textured paste creates a voluminous relief, over which thick acrylic is layered, forming an almost sculptural surface. Cool shades of blue and white contrast with warm ochre and orange accents, creating tension between light and shadow. The dark background intensifies the brightness of the flows, making them even more alive and dynamic.
This is a work about breakthrough, about the force that finds its way out even in the most difficult circumstances. About how beyond every darkness there is light—one need only dare to move forward.
This work is ideal for spaces that value drama and depth. Its vertical composition makes it a superb accent piece for high walls in living rooms, hallways, and offices. The contrast of light and dark creates a meditative, almost hypnotic effect, drawing the eye and holding it. The work is particularly striking with accent lighting, which highlights the textured surface and enhances the interplay of light and shadow.
