ABOUT THE ART
As with previous paintings in the Metanoia series, 'Metanoia VIII' describes a transitional state between new and old modes of being, suspended in a void amid uncertainty and turmoil. A state of limbo that also manifests within the gap between figurative and abstract art, a place where my artwork has always been delicately balanced.
