Fiona Ackerman’s stunning abstract paintings often reflect deep thoughts and emotion. With this lyrical piece, a myriad of gestural markings and brushstrokes are layered with organic shapes creating an enigmatic composition.
The colour palette is earthy—browns, clay, slate gray highlighted by sky blue and jet black against a white canvas.

“Rooted in abstraction, I want to push my work in divergent directions, to surprise myself, and keep the possibilities for my painting wide open.” Fiona Ackerman
