Sometimes, a painting is simply about color. Amethyst serves as a moment of stillness within the series—a quiet interlude amid more dynamic compositions, a chance to cleanse the palette in every sense. Both a visual breather and a painter’s reset, it creates space to absorb, reflect, and recalibrate before plunging back into more intense works. The deep, saturated purple dominates—calm yet charged, mysterious yet grounding—like a deep breath translated into color.
