Silver Sunrise (2023) is a quiet revelation — a painting that captures the moment just before light fully breaks, when warmth hovers beneath coolness and day begins with breath, not burst. This 48 x 48 inch acrylic and epoxy painting belongs to the Out of Darkness Collection, where minimal forms open emotional spaces.

The canvas glows with layers of soft silver, pale peach, and diffused amber, arranged in horizontal fields that rise gently across the surface. The sunrise here isn’t loud. It’s suspended. Misty. Hushed. A silver world slowly shifting toward warmth.

I painted Silver Sunrise during early mornings in the studio — those hours when the city was still quiet, and light spilled in with no rush. It became a meditation on transition — not the dramatic kind, but the gentle one: the shift in tone, in clarity, in breath.

The work echoes the tonal subtlety of Agnes Martin, whose bands of pale color pulse with spiritual quiet. Like Martin, I’m drawn to restraint — not as limitation, but as invitation to stillness.

Silver Sunrise doesn’t announce itself. It arrives slowly, like light through a window. It holds that space before awakening — a pause full of possibility.

As part of the Out of Darkness Collection, this painting invites you to feel rather than define — to let the gradient speak and the silence shine.
