Rooted Rythm

Acrylic with modelling paste on 12"x 38" on canvas
The painting features a striking contrast between a richly textured, cracked red-orange section and a smooth, lush green gradient. These color fields evoke the feeling of bark and foliage, of natural surfaces worn and alive. Woven into this backdrop is a flowing arrangement of rope spirals—each one unique in size and shape—climbing and curling like tendrils, roots, or natural growth patterns.
The vertical format enhances the upward movement, giving it a sense of life emerging or rising. The use of rope adds a sculptural dimension, making the piece feel interactive and multidimensional—like a tactile story of nature’s quiet persistence.
It’s a beautiful meditation on natural forms, cycles, and the beauty of imperfection—an ideal fusion of texture, form, and symbolism.
