Waves of Citrine and Azure Whispers: An Intimate Storm in Thread and Light

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 3ft x 3ft
Creation Date: 2025
Collection: Organic Movement

At just three feet square, Waves of Citrine and Azure Whispers carries the weight of a tempest in miniature. Painted with my signature thread-based Organic Movement technique, this work juxtaposes the warm luminosity of citrine with the fluid cool of azure—each layer pulled, dragged, and suspended through oil-soaked thread.

The painting evolved from a desire to explore what happens when control surrenders to motion. Every arc and sweep is the product of both physical intention and material spontaneity. You can see the feathering of fibers where light catches the ridges, and feel the motion in each twisted line—a kind of visual choreography embedded in paint.

This piece is inspired by coastal skies and fleeting weather—those moments where storms don’t so much break as they dissolve into quiet clarity. The painting breathes with a rhythm between containment and release. From the raw tactility of texture to the chromatic energy between blue and yellow-orange, this work is designed to engage the eye as much as it mirrors the body’s breath.

Collectors, curators, and interior designers looking for emotional resonance paired with tactile innovation will find in this piece a contemplative, yet energizing, focal point.

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.
