Nebula, 20" Round Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Swaths of iridescent magenta and ultraviolet drift across a void-black field, recalling astronomical photos of star-forming regions. Henderson lays the dark foundation first, then spritzes it with isopropyl alcohol before introducing electrified pinks. The reaction creates feathered edges that waft outward like cosmic dust clouds under solar wind. Metallic gold flecks pepper the surface, flickering on and off as the viewer shifts—distant suns blinking across light-years.
Yet the heart of Nebula is contemplative, not explosive. A softened lavender mist settles in the lower quadrant, calming the surrounding turbulence and hinting at gravity quietly gathering matter. The juxtaposition of violent birth and serene coalescence captures the paradox of the cosmos: everything monumental begins in a gentle swirl, and every hush contains the seeds of radiant upheaval.
