"All Consuming" Original Art 36X36X2 oil and cold wax on wood panel

The night descends with a presence that is both tender and overwhelming. In this moment, time seems to vanish, leaving only the vast, consuming darkness that wraps around everything like a quiet tide. Flickers of light—small, fleeting, yet persistent—dot the expanse, as if remnants of hope cling to the edges of a world dissolving into shadow.

“All Consuming” captures the moment when the vastness of night becomes a force in itself, overwhelming and yet intimate. It is not an emptiness but a fullness—an embrace of the unknown, a surrender to forces greater than oneself. This is a place where the boundaries between earth and sky dissolve, where golden embers of fading light melt into the deep, untamed dark, leaving only a sense of awe and surrender.

Description:

This evocative artwork is dominated by rich, earthy tones of burnt sienna, deep umber, and charcoal black, evoking the moody depth of a night sky overtaking the horizon. Flecks of light, golden and ethereal, punctuate the composition, suggesting the remnants of a fading fire or distant starlight. Textural layers create depth and movement, with delicate lines reminiscent of wild grasses or scars left by time itself.

“All Consuming” is a meditation on the immensity of nature and the emotions it stirs—serenity, mystery, and reverence. It draws the viewer into its depths, inviting them to lose themselves and find something greater. Perfect for spaces meant to inspire contemplation and wonder, this piece is both a statement and a sanctuary.
