Glow Below (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Julijana Ravbar

"Glow Below" is a monumental abstract painting that explores the intricate dynamics between hidden primal forces and ethereal light. Inspired by geological shifts, volcanic textures, and the deep memory of the Earth, the artwork captures the precise moment where new energy emerges from beneath a heavy, fractured surface.

Through the application of heavy textures and specialized cracking paste, I have created a tactile topography. The lower register of the canvas is dominated by organic, cell-like copper veins that seem to pulsate against a dark background. This raw, subterranean tension transitions into a serene upper realm of fluid, icy turquoise and luminous whites.

With its deep 4 cm gallery profile and finished black edges, the piece possesses a sculptural presence. The innovative addition of an epoxy resin layer on the reverse side guarantees structural stability. "Glow Below" is a powerful reminder that the most profound light often burns in the deepest cracks.

Materials used:

Mixed media and acrylic on canvas, heavy textured base with cracking paste, protective gloss varnish finish, and an epoxy-stabilized backing.
