A Star is Born, 12x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
A radiant silver core detonates through layers of night-blue and charcoal, freezing the instant of stellar genesis. Henderson lays down an almost-black base laced with hints of indigo to evoke the vacuum of space; then, with a sudden, decisive pour, she injects iridescent titanium white mixed with a touch of pale yellow. Centrifugal tilting sends that bright nucleus into explosive filaments that arc toward every edge, echoing astrophotography of protostars flinging matter into surrounding clouds.
Microscopic mica flakes embedded in the white catch ambient light, so the painting appears to pulse as viewers shift position—an optical heartbeat suggesting nuclear fusion just ignited. Yet along the borders, wisps of smoky gray curl inward, hinting at cosmic dust eager to coalesce into new worlds. The title’s playful truncation (“Bor” for “born”) underlines the concept: genesis is messy, letters drop, particles collide, but from apparent imperfections the universe writes its next chapter.
