I'D WANNA BE NEXT TO YOU, Acrylic, 60"x 80"

“I’d Wanna Be Next to You” is a bold and intimate large-scale original, inspired by the ornate elegance of Klimt yet wholly unique in its modern abstraction. Shapes nestle together—some soft and rounded, others more geometric—cascading down the canvas in a deliberate rhythm, evoking the warmth and desire of closeness.
Gold and bronze tones shimmer alongside rich reds, soft pastel pinks, and fresh greens, while layers of tints and shades mingle and contrast in a dance of colour and emotion. Negative space plays an essential role, offering breath and pause between the clustered forms, inviting the viewer to step into the space between, where meaning and emotion reside.
This piece is a celebration of connection—the feeling of wanting to be near, held in shape and hue. It carries both intimacy and distance, structure and spontaneity, like a quiet conversation shared in glances and colour.
