Stairway to Heaven

"A Journey of Light and Loss"
This painting was created as a cathartic release in the wake of losing my older brother, a tribute to both his presence and the profound absence left behind. The piece is a blend of emotion and memory, where the soothing yet turbulent blues represent the ocean that was ever-present in our childhood. They speak to the quiet, enduring nature of the sea—its endless expanse mirroring the vastness of grief and love intertwined.
The yellows, warm and radiant, echo the light of transcendence, a reminder of the sunshine we shared during our lives together. They symbolize the hope that remains even in the darkest of times, the way memories continue to shine despite the pain. Interwoven with greens, the color of life, growth, and nature, the hues reflect not only the natural world but the cycles of healing, the slow yet inevitable passage of time, and the potential for renewal.
Together, these colors merge in a dynamic flow—blurring and blending, yet still distinct in their own right—representing the complexity of grief and the journey towards acceptance. This painting is both an emotional release and a quiet homage, a way of processing loss while honoring the enduring light of a loved one.
