And There It Was

“And There It Was” emerged from the desire to capture the instant of recognition — the way clarity can appear suddenly within the noise of experience. The composition is built from layers of bold acrylic color: red, yellow, blue, and white clashing and blending to create a textured field of energy. Across this surface, black lines carve fractured paths, both containing and releasing the chaos beneath.

The painting is alive with tension: fluid marks collide with sharp divisions, dense areas break into open spaces, and vibrant hues battle with one another while still forming a whole. This sense of contradiction reflects how moments of realization arrive — not gently, but with force, cutting through confusion to reveal something undeniable.

The title speaks to that immediacy. We search, we struggle, we circle, and then suddenly — there it is. A truth, a feeling, a memory. By translating that sensation into abstraction, I invite viewers to find their own moment of recognition within the work, whether through color, rhythm, or form.

“And There It Was” is less about resolution than about honouring the spark — the beauty of chaos transforming into understanding.
