Dreamscape Golden Turquoise, 12x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Molten gold lattices float over Caribbean-blue depths, fusing treasure with tide. Henderson achieves this duality by first flooding the panel with opaque turquoise, then selectively dropping high-density metallic pigment onto still-wet paint. As gravity drags the heavier gold downward, it trails filaments that branch into coral-reef shapes, while lighter turquoise pushes upward to reclaim territory—a slow dance of weight and buoyancy.
Tiny pinholes form where air bubbles rise, creating starry apertures that reveal even darker underlayers. The interplay of shimmer and shadow suggests sunbeams piercing seawater, illuminating submerged riches before slipping away. It’s a visual parable on abundance: real wealth, the piece implies, is found where light meets depth, where surface beauty masks hidden complexity.
