"Meru" a Painting by Elizabeth Barrera (b. 1974)

18" x 18" x 2"

Elizabeth Barrera's "Meru" is a captivating abstract encaustic acrylic on a canvas wrapped wood board, a significant example of her early mature work previously exhibited at Hooks-Epstein Galleries. Delicate lavender forms, reminiscent of blossoms or perhaps abstract gestures, dance across a pale yellow ground, punctuated by organic olive-green shapes that create a serene and minimalist composition. This interplay of gentle lavender and olive-green tones, against the soft yellow background, produces a delicate harmony. The organic, free-flowing forms suggest both a quietude and an underlying energy, inviting the viewer into a dreamlike landscape of subtle beauty. "Meru" exemplifies Barrera's masterful blend of color and form, showcasing a mature understanding of composition and a delicate balance between color and form. This piece is a valuable addition to any collection of contemporary abstract art. Signed and dated on verso. Some wear to sides.
