Poor in Spirit Waterprint

£8,500.00
sold out

2025
Oil, Flashe, ink and water on canvas
67” x 51” / 170 × 130 cm

Private collection Delray Beach, Fl

This is about a dream passed down through generations—and about keeping a posture of humility, openness, and receptivity to transformation, even when the hope of that dream hasn’t yet come to fruition.

Like vessels molded by both substance and void, each brushstroke holds the tension between embodiment and surrender. Colors slip into translucence; forms dissolve into light. Subtle shifts in tone and texture evoke how we hold and release what shapes us, reminding us to remain porous—prepared to receive, and just as ready to let go.

This is a painting about the slow unfolding of promise. About staying open, even when the ground seems fallow. Poor in Spirit is not about lack—it’s about preparation. A space made ready. A spirit that remains soft, listening, expectant.
