Original artwork description:

Title: Held by Nothing, Still Holding On Dimensions: 36 x 36 inches (91.5 x 91.5 cm) Medium: Oil Pastel, Heavy Texture, and Fluid Acrylic on Raw Canvas Finish: Ready to Hang (Gallery-wrapped edges) Description: Held by Nothing, Still Holding On is a contemplative abstract work that explores the tension between vulnerability and resilience. Executed on raw canvas, the piece blends bold fluid acrylics with expressive oil pastel and heavy texture, creating a tactile surface that is both spontaneous and deliberate. The composition is minimal yet emotionally charged, with flowing gestures and linear elements rendered in a palette of red, blue, green, white, and pink. These colors interact through transparent layers and structured lines, evoking a quiet struggle—an emotional push and pull between absence and endurance. This work speaks to a state of suspension: unsupported yet unwavering, disconnected yet determined. The rawness of the canvas and the interplay of materials amplify the emotional gravity, making this piece a powerful visual metaphor for holding on when nothing holds you. Perfect for collectors drawn to conceptual minimalism and textural depth, Held by Nothing, Still Holding On stands as a bold and introspective statement in contemporary abstract art.

Materials used:

plaster paint, texture paint, oil pastel, acrylic, canvas
