colourful storm by Denise de wit-rodenburg

For me, this painting is about energy, movement and having the courage to express yourself. It is a journey between gentleness and strength: between what you feel and what you show to the world.

The shades of pink and purple represent gentleness, intuition and emotion. They form an almost dreamlike backdrop, but are constantly interrupted by powerful colours. The bright yellow brings energy, optimism and courage. It seems to move through the painting like a kind of light.

The deep red and burgundy evoke passion, vitality and longing. At the same time, the dark areas lend the work depth: not everything has to be light and cheerful to feel powerful. The blue at the top brings calm and space. It is as though, amidst all the movement, a momentary space is created to catch one’s breath.

The loose lines, scratches and brushstrokes lend the painting an unpredictable and free quality. There is no clear beginning or end. This fits with the idea that energy is constantly changing and remains in motion.

The golden accents add something special: value, strength and a touch of magic. They do not appear everywhere, but rather in unexpected places.

This painting doesn’t have to tell a single story. It’s meant to evoke something within you.
A sense of freedom. Passion. Gentleness. Chaos. Energy. Or perhaps a sense of recognition.
This painting was painted by me and finished off a little by Ai.
