Between Touch and Creation

A contemporary reimagining of Michelangelo’s iconic meeting hands, this painting places two expressive arms across a pale, open field of blue, with their fingertips suspended just short of contact. Warm ochre, umber, and russet forms contrast against the cool ground, while irregular dark fissures travel through the composition like fractures in time or memory. Broad, visible brushwork and simplified anatomy give the scene an intimate, handmade presence, reinforced by the handwritten note identifying its inspiration.
