About the Art on Consignment
The Maze
The Maze - is an abstract acrylic painting created on canvas board that focuses on colors through space while allowing the viewers to follow the rhythm and essence depicting within the painting.
Through life, we often twist and turn, go in circles, go through hardships and experience challenges and wind up in a situation that is peaceful, joyful and positive to one’s spirit. We ask ourselves, why we put ourselves in the situation that creates the maze. When the answer is right in front of us the whole time. Sometimes, it is not best to go through the maze.
