Size: 2.5ft x 2.5ft
Creation Date: 2025
Collection: Organic Movement

 Pulse of the Purple Fan (30x30 in., oil on canvas, 2025) is part of my Organic Movement Collection, where gesture and texture transform into rhythm and vitality. This work radiates with violet, magenta, and plum hues, converging into a fan-like form that expands outward—simultaneously delicate and commanding. The layered strokes create a pulsation that feels alive, almost breathing, embodying a sense of energy in suspension.

The use of thread in place of traditional brushes intensifies the tactile presence of the surface, capturing both the fragility and force of movement. This tension recalls the explorations of Anish Kapoor’s vibrant monochromes and Olafur Eliasson’s sensory environments—art that doesn’t just sit in front of you, but instead immerses you. Pulse of the Purple Fan similarly refuses to be static; it invites the viewer into a dialogue of expansion and contraction, color and void, presence and becoming.

This work stands as both a gesture of intimacy and openness, revealing how form can pulse with unseen rhythms—an organic unfolding that feels simultaneously ancient and immediate.

Ritu Raj | Contemporary Abstract Artist | Phoenix

After 30 years as an executive and entrepreneur, I returned to painting full-time to explore what words and strategy couldn’t hold. I create bold, expressive abstract art to shift how we see and feel—opening space for reflection, connection, and quiet transformation. For me, change begins not with certainty, but with listening.
