This artwork is part of the collection inspired by the artist's personal experience of witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights. Created with the various hues of the most vibrant Northern Lights, the works capture both the intensity of colour and the serenity of the experience. For the artist, this journey became a powerful metaphor: a reflection of what it feels like to endure dark and turbulent times, holding onto hope and patiently waiting for a moment of light. The Northern Lights serve as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, recognizing and embracing the little joys in life is what truly makes life worth living.
Why collect this work?
Concentric ridges organize scattered flashes into a field where brightness seems intermittent rather than triumphant, making “Aura” an image of light sustained within darkness.
- The artist describes this 2025 work as rooted in witnessing the Northern Lights and as a metaphor for maintaining hope through turbulent periods. That intention clarifies the contrast without fixing its meaning.
- In the photograph, curved bands and elongated loops overlap across a circular, deep-purple field. Green, pale pink, and white passages appear through broken striations, so forms register partly as bodies and partly as traces of motion.
- The documented combination of textured plaster, acrylic, and coloured foil on canvas makes relief, pigment, and reflectivity separate agents. Foil may cause the lighter marks to shift with illumination, while repeated grooves direct the eye around each bend.
- Encountering this work allows a collection to examine how contemporary abstraction translates a specific natural spectacle into a structure of interrupted visibility, rather than illustrating the aurora literally.
