Knock, Knock, Knocking Wood Panel # 3 carries an undeniable sense of harmony, where every stroke and layer feels intentional yet fluid, evoking a meditative rhythm. Completed in the winter of 2025 as part of an 10-panel collection, the piece blends the real and the imagined in a poetic dance of color and texture. The palette of deep greens, luminous yellows, and soft whites creates a glowing atmosphere, speaking to themes of growth, light, and transcendence.
The forms within the piece are suggestive, almost figurative, yet ethereal enough to invite personal interpretation. The layered textures, built through a meditative process of application and removal, create a sense of movement and vitality, as though the panel itself is alive. A clean white border frames the composition, grounding its energy and focusing the viewer’s gaze inward, where its depth and rhythm unfold. The interplay of bright yellows and soft whites against the green background suggests a quiet, celebratory energy that reflects optimism, transformation, and the joy of creation.
Rooted in the symbolic act of knocking on wood, the piece resonates with the energy of fortune and the artist’s intention to honor both the unknown and the creative journey. This panel serves as a poetic exploration of renewal, persistence, and the subtle celebrations that unfold in both life and art.
