Flare – Geometric Line in Abstract Figurative Painting (A3)

Sharp geometric lines and vivid flares of colour ignite this expressive work. Inspired by the flares set off during storms at sea, the figure stands as a beacon in turbulent waters. Gold leaf elements shimmer like sudden light against darkness, a moment of clarity in chaos.

The Storm Collection (2022) is a series of 14 original acrylic paintings that merge abstract figurative art, life drawing, and collage-inspired techniques. Created during a period of turbulence, these works channel the forces of nature — lightning, floods, waves, and celestial bodies — into powerful female forms.

Each painting features acrylic paint and luminous gold leaf details, reflecting themes of resilience, renewal, and myth. Halos, crescents, ripples, and geometric motifs reimagine classical iconography with a contemporary edge, blending spirituality with expressive abstraction.

This collection is an ode to strength and communion — between women, nature, and the storms that shape us. It is at once deeply personal and universally symbolic, making it a striking body of work in contemporary figurative painting.
