Original artwork description:

“French Tolle” – An Original Minimalist Abstract Painting
From the Spectrum Collection: a study in calm, contrast, and texture.
French Tolle is a monochromatic exploration of texture, tone, and movement. Created with professional oil paint mixed with cold wax and applied using a single firm-bristle brush, this minimalist abstract artwork invites a quiet, grounded presence into your space.
• Artwork Size: 8 x 10 inches
• Presentation: Matted to a standard 11 x 14 inch size (frame not included)
• Medium: Oil paint + cold wax
• Surface: Canvas panel, matted in archival white
• Finish: Sealed with gloss varnish for protection and subtle sheen

Each brushstroke is preserved, offering a bold yet subtle texture. While this version features a light airy natural blue hue, the Spectrum Collection spans a wide range of colors. Each one unified by a shared focus on minimalism, monochrome, and meditative process.

The Inspiration:
The Spectrum Collection is rooted in a fascination with the physicality of paint; specifically how texture, repetition, and color can evoke quiet emotion. French Tolle is a piece that leans deeply into that tactile experience. The process allows each mark to retain its physical presence, offering a visual rhythm of dark to light.
The repetition of strokes, combined with the descending intensity of tone, creates a meditative process - one that is both grounding and soothing to create and to view. This painting invites the viewer to pause, exhale, and step into the stillness of a quiet forest.
