About This Painting:
Mapping the Invisible explores the unseen systems—emotional, intuitive, and experiential—that shape the way we move through the world. Rather than depicting a fixed subject, the work unfolds as a layered field of gestures and pathways. The arcs of line suggest routes or currents, while the textured layers beneath hold the traces of process, echoing how memory and meaning are built through time.
This painting invites the viewer into a kind of abstract cartography, where the map is less about destination and more about resonance. It offers a sense of movement and discovery, encouraging personal interpretation rather than prescribing a narrative.
For collectors, the work balances visual energy with a meditative quality, making it adaptable to a range of contemporary interiors. Its scale (45 x 45 cm) allows for versatility—it can hold its own as a singular statement piece or form part of a cohesive series. Positioned within today’s abstract art market, the painting sits at the intersection of lyrical abstraction and process-driven practice, appealing to audiences who value both expressive freedom and conceptual depth.
Inspiration
This work emerges from a fascination with the unseen structures that guide our lives—the quiet networks of memory, intuition, and connection that move beneath the surface of things. The painting is less about representation and more about tracing those subtle pathways that we often sense but cannot name.
As I worked, I let movement rather than plan dictate the composition. The flowing lines became a kind of cartography, suggesting routes through inner landscapes, while the layered textures hold the residue of multiple gestures and decisions. Each mark is a fragment of process—built, erased, and reformed—echoing how experience accumulates and shifts over time.
In the end, this painting feels to me like a map that cannot be read in conventional terms, but one that resonates on a personal level: a record of searching, following, and trusting unseen directions.
