Silfr Forboði (Silver Omen)

This piece of art is closely connected to moments of tranquility. The interpretations can vary, and in the effort to grasp what the eye may not always detect, sometimes you receive subtle messages or encounter a presence that's right before you. They await your readiness to notice them. At times, they remain unnoticed until it feels as if it should have been clear, while at other moments, understanding comes immediately. The title, derived from Old Norse, directly hints at what is concealed in plain view within this work. This painting measures 24''x12''x2'' on a gallery-wrapped canvas, created with oil paint and decorated with silver foil flakes.
