Acrylic on Canvas

"The End and the Beginning" is from a collection of paintings titled Cycle which highlights different stages in the Menstrual Cycle. It is a meditation on the period or menses.

With a limited palette of colors and a striking vibrancy, this painting is an abstract of the end represented by the deeper reds, and the beginning represented by the lilac purples at the center. The gradations create depth while the fluorescent red adds brightness. The painting at large is about exogenesis, entering and exiting at the same time, a door, a portal.
