Descriptions:
The Sun Will Set You Free is a mixed media work on paper that blends portraiture with abstraction to explore release, clarity, and inner transformation. Expressive layers of paint intersect with drawn elements, partially obscuring the face and creating a powerful tension between concealment and revelation.
Warm reds and soft neutrals are balanced by linear marks and graphic details, suggesting emotional weight gradually lifted by light and awareness. Intimate in scale at 9.44 x 11.81 inches, this original artwork invites close viewing and quiet reflection, offering collectors a piece that feels personal, contemporary, and deeply human.

About The Artwork
expand_more
I’ve always found the short winter days more difficult, like many people I feel drained more often and my mood suffers from the reduced sunlight. No spring is upon us I’m happier, more energetic and feel freer and more creative. It’s amazing that we are subject to the seasons even in the modern age. This link between the physical world and our mental well-being fascinates me and I feel I need a constant reminder, that a period of low mood could be caused by something so simple.

Fair & Free Shipping
We provide fair shipping for all orders under $500. What’s that mean? When most online retailers provide “free” shipping, they’re actually marking up prices to cover the shipping charge.
