Admiration from a distance (2023) Original Oil Painting by Abigail Noriega

This painting features a vivid use of purple hues, creating an intense and dynamic composition. The textured, circular forms in the foreground draw the eye immediately, anchoring the piece with their strong presence. These forms, with their deep, tactile texture, contrast with the more fluid and chaotic background. The background is filled with swirling brushstrokes and scattered text, with phrases such as "maybe we need space", reinforcing the theme of seeking distance or solitude. The use of purple, a color often associated with mystery, creativity, and sometimes melancholy, suggests a mood that is both introspective and emotionally charged. The large circular forms symbolize two beings embodying boundaries and personal space, while being able to admire one another from a distance. A representation of fear by using a protective barrier to separate the self from external pressures.
