"Calm Before The Rise" - XXL ( 100cmX100cm)

Composition and Sequence:

"Calm Before the Rise" is a powerful testament to the strength, resilience, and grace of women navigating the corporate world. This 100cm x 100cm abstract painting captures the profound yet quiet moments before transformative action, where clarity and resolve build beneath the surface, waiting to emerge. The piece symbolizes the delicate balance between calm and chaos, portraying how inner strength is forged in silence, ready for a powerful rise.

The composition begins with a foundation of soft light blue, gold, light turquoise, and salmon, layered through the soak-stain technique. Veins of paint spread naturally across the canvas, creating organic marks as the colors drip and flow in unpredictable patterns. Uncertain lines emerge, formed by the fluid movement of the pigments, capturing the essence of both the artist’s intuitive process and the unforeseen challenges encountered in leadership. The cascading strokes echo the natural flow of events, mirroring the unpredictability of life’s obstacles while conveying the quiet preparation beneath the surface.

The soft, luminous colors evoke serenity and optimism, drawing the viewer into the calm before the storm. Yet at the center lies a subtle yet powerful focal point—a storm beginning to form on the horizon. This tension between light and movement symbolizes the courage and resilience required to lead authentically, even in the face of adversity.
