This piece, entitled 'Reflection' by John Waski, is an abstract painting that evokes a sense of fluidity and movement through its dynamic brushwork. The canvas is dominated by a central whirl of dark and teal blues, overlaid with aggressive strokes and splatters of yellow and green, suggesting a spontaneous and energetic application of paint. The layering of colors creates depth, with the darker tones receding and the brighter yellows coming to the forefront, offering a visual metaphor for reflection where light surfaces from the depth of darker waters.
The interplay of the cool blue background with the warm yellow highlights creates a striking contrast, while the varied brushstrokes and markings contribute to a rich texture. There's an organic quality to the forms, which may evoke natural elements such as water, flora, or the cosmos, left to the interpretation of the viewer. The painting's composition is balanced yet dynamic, with a rhythm created by the directional movements of the brushwork and the intermingling of colors. It is a visually compelling piece that captures the complexity of reflection both as a physical phenomenon and a contemplative act.

Artists Statement: “My artistic vision taps into the raw emotion of the human experience, defining the spiritual, naturally occurring and man-made forces that surround us. Drawing upon the combinations of these elements creates solid narrative to express my unique interpretation of life today. I derive inspiration from various forms of mythology, observing people and nature, which is used as a catalyst in developing a body of work. The art attempts to capture a state of being by fusing abstract and representational elements together for a new visual language. Overlaying multiple forms and color I want to create a visual stratigraphic exploration of the subject matter, by building surfaces and layers to expose a sense of time and multi dimensional narratives. Having this dialogue offers a unique commentary exposing the venerability of our relationships with each other and the environment, attempting to achieve a balance of ambiguity and tension within the space that captures a fleeting moment in time. These components of the work manifest through the exploration of evolution and change. With the utilization of selective icons, textures and the human form, I share my perceptive awareness through my art.”
