About This Work

Acrylic and spray paint on mirror and canvas Concept: The work explores the visual illusion of marks drawn with water on a fogged mirror, creating an ethereal, fleeting aesthetic that evokes the transient and intimate nature of gesture. Edition: Limited edition and/or custom piece available upon request. Through the Fog is a contemporary art series that explores the subtle relationship between perception, emotion, and hope through layered mixed media compositions of glass and canvas. Each artwork is created using painted glass mounted over canvas, designed to evoke the familiar and intimate visual effect of drawing with one’s fingers on a fogged mirror. The imagery appears as if it were painted on humid glass, capturing the fleeting softness and blurred beauty of marks made in steam. This illusion of impermanence contrasts with the solid physicality of the canvas beneath, where each background is individually crafted with textured acrylic paint. These unique surfaces add depth and material richness, allowing transparency, texture, and reflection to interact in a dynamic visual dialogue. The result is an artwork that feels atmospheric yet grounded, delicate yet intentional. At the heart of Through the Fog is the idea of discovering clarity through obscurity. Each piece incorporates a motivational phrase that extends the experience beyond the visual, offering a message of optimism, resilience, or reflection. These words emerge through the mist-like imagery, symbolizing the power of finding light, meaning, and encouragement even in moments of uncertainty. By combining the ephemeral sensation of vapor-drawn marks with uplifting messages and richly textured surfaces, Through the Fog transforms a simple everyday visual memory into a meaningful artistic experience — one that invites viewers to look beyond the haze and find inspiration within it.
