The base of the artwork is formed by an expertly textured concrete background, which forms an unexpected but harmonious contrast to the fluidity of the round forms. The rough, earthy texture of the concrete seems almost tangible. This rough surface serves as a metaphorical canvas for the whimsical spectacle unfolding on it.
The contrast between the rigid concrete texture and the fluid round forms evokes a profound reflection on the interplay between the simplicity of nature and the complexity of human perception. "If Raindrops Were Coloured" captures a moment of boundless creativity, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the ephemeral is immortalised in vivid splashes of colour and texture. This abstract work in mixed media invites us to enjoy the magic that happens when imagination takes flight and raindrops transcend their gentle descent and ignite the canvas with a symphony of colours and sensations.
