Venus to Mars II is part of the Pop Movements series, which delves into the dynamic intersection of geometry, color, and rhythm to unlock the keys to our enchanting realm. Capturing the celestial balance between opposing yet complementary forces—softness and strength, intuition and action, chaos and structure. This contemporary abstract painting merges fluid, organic motion with bold, assertive forms, creating a visual dialogue between the feminine and masculine energies that shape our existence. The deep contrast of cosmic blues, fiery reds, and metallic gold elements evokes planetary movement, gravitational tension, and the eternal dance between creation and expansion.
The interplay of shapes, lines, and colors in this piece reflects the unity of natural and spiritual forces—bringing together the feminine and masculine, the earthly and the ethereal. The “stairway to heaven” serves as a metaphor for transcendence, offering a route to a higher state of being where opposites harmonize, and the duality of existence is reconciled. The painting speaks to the cosmic balance and connection between art and life, inviting the viewer to reflect on the energies that shape our inner and outer worlds.
This piece serves as both a meditation on harmony and a powerful visual statement, making it an ideal addition for collectors seeking depth, balance, and cosmic dynamism in contemporary abstraction.
Venus to Mars II was completed in the winter of 2022 at the artist’s studio in Soho, New York.
