"Ecliptis" (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Alisa Fimen

This textured painting features a unique composition in black and gold, crafted using textured paste, matte acrylic, and gilded glass shards. The central theme of this artwork was inspired by nature and its astonishing forms, reminiscent of aerial photography. At the heart of the piece flows a "golden river," created with transparent glass shards that reflect light and create a sense of fluidity.

This work aims to convey a sense of the grandeur and power of nature to its viewers, highlighting the contrast between the solidity of frozen lava and the softness and shine of the golden river. I chose these materials to emphasize the texture and depth of the artwork, allowing the viewer to experience the tactile qualities of the painting as they approach it.

Every element of the painting has been carefully considered: the black texture symbolizes powerful earthly forces, while the golden river represents hope, life, and movement. This piece invites the viewer to contemplate the connection between nature and humanity, and how these two worlds intertwine and inspire one another.

NOTE: Best displayed with soft side lighting to reveal the depth of its texture and details.
