Floating by Nourma Masri Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Acrylic on Paper Dimensions: 21 x 29 cm Year: 2024 Price: $800.00 USD Status: available "Floating" artwork features a central figure, seemingly in a state of serene contemplation, enveloped in a mosaic of geometric shapes. The emotional impact of "Floating" lies in its blend of tranquility and energy with a gentle expression and closed eyes evoke a sense of peace. Why collect this work?A thick black network binds figure and setting into one structure, making “Floating” less an escape from gravity than a suspension between containment and release. Masri’s profile describes her painting as rooted in Cubism and guided by colour. Here, that stated approach helps explain why the body is assembled from overlapping facets rather than modelled as a continuous volume.Closed eyes and a tilted head suggest repose, while the bent limbs and sharply angled clothing remain compressed within the surrounding grid. Small yellow, teal, purple and blue passages punctuate the dominant black and off-white field.Catalogued as acrylic on paper, the work uses flat colour areas and emphatic outlines to keep figure and background visually legible even as their shapes interlock. The photographed surface shows slight variation within some black passages, without establishing physical texture or condition.Dated 2024 and measuring 21 by 29 cm, “Floating” is a focused study of how a recognisable body can remain emotionally readable inside an abstract framework. Its central tension lies in whether the grid supports, surrounds or confines the resting figure. About the ArtistNourma Masri Nourma Masri is an artist on Mondoir Studio.
