Description:
Winter Solstice is a captivating abstract painting that evokes tranquility, depth, and luminous beauty. Created intuitively, this artwork began with a flowing alcohol ink base, followed by delicate layers of acrylic ink in turquoise and deep blues. Gentle grey and blue details add movement and contrast, while the final touch—a shimmering silver ink layer—creates a stunning mirror-like glow, reminiscent of moonlight reflecting on snow.
The result is a piece that feels ethereal and serene, offering a calming and peaceful presence to any space. With its fluid textures and meditative essence, Winter Solstice is designed to inspire stillness and quiet wonder.
Materials & Technique:
This painting was created using a layered, intuitive process, allowing the inks to flow naturally and form organic, dreamlike compositions. The combination of:
- Alcohol ink – for fluidity and soft blending
- Acrylic ink – for depth and rich hues
- Silver ink – for an elegant, reflective finish
…results in a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork. It is sealed with a protective varnish to ensure its longevity and brilliance over time.
