Silver Landscape (2023) is a horizon made of light — an abstract meditation on reflection, atmosphere, and stillness. This 30 x 36 inch acrylic and epoxy painting from the Out of Darkness Collection transforms minimal elements into a scene that feels both cosmic and intimate.

The composition is divided horizontally, with a cool, brushed field of silvery gray suggesting sky or fog above a darker, glossier base. Fine textures ripple subtly across the surface — not painted, but revealed through movement, light, and layer. There is no literal land, but there is grounding. No sky, but a sense of height. It’s not a place — it’s the feeling of one.

I created Silver Landscape while reflecting on quiet. On the kind of silence that feels full, not empty. This is a painting for looking, not solving — a mirror made of sky.

It shares aesthetic affinity with the ethereal precision of Hiroshi Sugimoto, whose seascape photographs hold light and shadow in quiet tension. Like Sugimoto, I believe that minimalism can carry weight, that repetition can be sacred.

Silver Landscape doesn’t depict. It suggests. It invites you to bring your own atmosphere to it — to project memory, possibility, or peace.

As part of the Out of Darkness Collection, this painting uses form not to impose, but to invite. It’s geometry softened, symmetry blurred — a field where vision and feeling become one.
