Original artwork description:

This oil painting is a mood piece, inspired by the idea of expansiveness - both of thought and feeling - symbolised by the vast open sky. The fluid, wind-swept forms evoke a sense of freedom of expression, with the figure suspended in a moment of pure presence. They are not thinking or doing; they are simply being. This lack of narrative or explicit meaning is central to the work - it is not meant to represent anything, but instead to exist as a visual expression of being. Painted in loose, expressive brushstrokes, the piece celebrates the physicality of paint itself, with bold, large areas of vibrant colour reflecting a love for working with strong, saturated tones and expansive compositions.
