Centripetal Acceleration, 2024
Fluid acrylics on stretched raw canvas, custom frame included
60 × 72 cm

Centripetal Acceleration invites you into a serene dance of color and form, where gentle waves of pale yellow and creamy white melt seamlessly into soft blues and grays. Just as the sun holds its planets in a gravitational embrace, so too does a parent swinging a child—both bound by forces of connection and care. The painting’s fluid shapes and delicate transitions suggest this invisible bond, offering a quiet space for reflection and emotional resonance. Its subtle motion feels both intimate and expansive, evoking memories that swirl softly beneath the surface.
