Released

“Released” is an original mixed media painting that beautifully explores themes of freedom, peace, and even personal growth. Measuring 20x10 inches, this piece invites viewers into a world of color and emotion.
 
At the heart of “Released” lies an abstract white dove, a powerful symbol of liberation and peace. This striking shape serves as a focal point, inspiring contemplation about letting go and embracing new beginnings. The dove invites you to reflect on your own journey towards freedom, making this artwork not just a visual experience but an emotional one.
 
The dynamic circular shapes throughout the composition represent cycles, reflecting the ebb and flow of life. These forms evoke movement and energy, suggesting a sense of rhythm. Together with the dove, they create a narrative of how we hold on to so much yet other times must release—quite a challenging journey toward liberation and eventual joy.
 
The rich palette of reds, blues, and yellows enhances this narrative, infusing the piece with energy and warmth. Each brushstroke and texture adds depth, inviting you to explore the artwork closer and discover new layers of meaning. Many of us can remember a time when we stepped into New Freedom, ready to meet things anew. That’s the spirit behind “Released” and I take a deep breath every time I look at it. I hope it'll find a home where it prompts that same good feeling for someone else.
