Synchronicity 2 is part of a two-piece exploration I created to see how two paintings would turn out if I painted them side by side with the same color palette. To do this, I intentionally had no plan in mind for what the paintings would end up as, and used my intuitive painting method to create them both.
As I was creating this final textured composition, I recall feeling like I was taking some risks with this piece. I had the thought to try new things I hadn’t done before, such as the swiped strokes around the border and creating both the color gradient from pink to yellow in the central section while maintaining yellow throughout the entire gradient section.
When facing this piece in person, the large size and framed composition make this feel like a portal mirror. I want the viewer to have what I like to call a “full body viewing experience” that transports you into a state of wonder.
