Original artwork description:

"How Much The Heart Can Hold" is an acrylic stain painting on raw canvas is an exploration of rhythm and color tension, balancing moments of bold gesture with areas of quiet absorption. Vibrant violets, deep ultramarine, and soft blush tones move fluidly across the surface, drifting in and out of focus.

Created using thin layers of pigment on untreated canvas, the work captures a sense of suspended motion — both intuitive and atmospheric. A meditation on contrast, tempo, and the expressive weight of color.

"Nobody has even measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold."
Zelda Fitzgerald
