This original acrylic and gouache painting on raw canvas features a luminous pink sunburst face gazing serenely outward, its warm blush tones and delicate expression exuding both tenderness and vitality. Beneath it, a pair of deep maroon fern-like spirals unfurl with rhythmic energy, echoing ancient motifs of growth, cycles, and renewal. The composition is bordered by an earthy frame of mottled browns and ochres, whose diffused edges enhance the work’s tactile, hand-painted quality. The overall effect is both grounding and transcendent, inviting viewers into a meditative dialogue with nature and celestial presence.

This 30-inch high, 20-inch wide original artwork is meticulously crafted on raw canvas, with painted edges that create a seamless, finished look. It is wired, ready to hang, and requires no additional framing. It is signed by the artist on the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery.
