"After a Long Winter" is an abstract piece, No. 11 in the “Five Seasons” collection, that beautifully captures the vibrant, revitalising essence of early spring. This piece unfolds as a release—where the weight of winter gives way to vibrant, reawakening energy. Convergence of deep blues, electric violets, and layered blacks suggests the memory of winter still pulsing beneath the surface. But warmer tones are already seeming – yellows, soft golds and sudden accents of red – filling the composition with vitality and movement. These colours do not simply appear; they surge, weaving through the cooler tones, creating a dynamic interplay between what was and what is becoming. After a Long Winter embodies spring as a renewal not only of landscape but also of energy and perception; the lingering shadows of cold transform into a vibrant, unfolding presence—full of possibility and the promise of continuation.
