Welcome to The Wellspring:
A Journey Begins with “Infinity”
Art has always been a portal—a way to step beyond the surface of things and glimpse the deeper currents of thought, memory, and emotion. Welcome to The Wellspring, my new gallery and creative space, where each work is an invitation to explore the stories and questions that flow from the superconscious mind.
For our very first blog post regarding my new gallery The Wellspring, I’m excited to share a deep dive into one of my most personal and enigmatic pieces: “Infinity.”
Infinity: A Portrait Beyond the Surface
Composition & Technique
“Infinity” draws the viewer in with its intimate focus—a close-up of a face, lips slightly parted, the gaze implied but unseen. The composition is cropped, almost cinematic, inviting us to fill in the narrative. The surface is alive with stippled marks, each dot a fragment of color and thought, building a tapestry of emotion and ambiguity.
The palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, evoking calm, introspection, and perhaps a touch of melancholy. The lips, rendered in a bold red, become a focal point—a symbol of vulnerability, communication, and the unspoken. Light and shadow play across the face, creating a sense of depth and mystery.
This technique, reminiscent of pointillism, rewards close viewing. Each mark is deliberate, yet the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—a visual metaphor for the infinite complexity of identity and experience.
Historical Echoes: From Seurat to Contemporary Portraiture
“Infinity” stands in dialogue with a rich tradition of portraiture and mark-making. The stippled surface recalls the innovations of Georges Seurat and the pointillists, who used tiny dots of pure color to create luminous, vibrating images. Yet where Seurat’s works often depicted public scenes and landscapes, “Infinity” turns inward, using the technique to evoke the inner landscape of the self.
There are also echoes of Chuck Close, whose monumental portraits deconstruct the face into grids of color and abstraction, and of Francis Bacon, whose figures dissolve at the edges, caught between presence and absence. Like these artists, I am interested in the tension between clarity and ambiguity, the seen and the unseen.
But “Infinity” is also a departure. Rather than seeking to define or fix identity, the work invites the viewer into a space of possibility—a moment suspended, where meaning is fluid and open-ended. The face is both specific and universal, a vessel for projection and empathy.
The Wellspring: Art as Portal
“Infinity” embodies the spirit of The Wellspring. It is a work born from dreams, from the flow of ideas that surface when we allow ourselves to drift beyond the boundaries of logic and habit. It asks: Who are we, beneath the stories we tell? What lies beyond the surface of things?
As you explore The Wellspring, I invite you to linger with these questions. Each piece in the gallery is a doorway—step through, and see what you discover.
