Hooked on Life
Measuring 48 x 36 inches, Hooked on Life presents an ethereal and evocative composition. The painting is dominated by large, fluid brushstrokes of blue that suggest the shape of abstract water glowing with the light of day. The smaller, darker shapes evoke the shapes of birds or possibly symbolize the earth. The position suggests movement and energy with an upward trajectory.
Drips of paint are visible, particularly in the blue portions, adding texture and an organic feel to the work. At the bottom of the painting, there is a faint sketch of a rosary with a cross hanging down, delicately integrated into the composition. Aligned with the “rosary” is a line resembling a fishing line, however upon close reflection, the viewer will notice the line is hooked to the sky. The meaning is clear, as the piece was created as a means to suggest the need for help from the eternal, tied to the peace and tranquility of the water.
The background is muted, with a soft, off-white or beige hue, allowing the central forms to stand out prominently. The overall atmosphere is serene yet dynamic, offering a symbolic journey that could evoke themes of spirituality, freedom, or transcendence.
