Thinking in blue

Horizontal strokes of deep cobalt and marigold gold stack the length of the canvas like light breaking across moving water, each band laid on thick with a palette knife so the paint itself catches the light. The blue runs from near-black indigo to a bright cerulean, the gold from burnt amber to a warm, buttery yellow, and the two colors never fully merge — they run parallel, streaked and layered, giving the surface a rippling, almost photographic sense of motion. In the lower right corner the artist's signature is worked directly into the impasto in the same gold, as much a mark of paint as a name. It is a painting built entirely on the friction between two colors and the texture of how they were applied. Thinking in blue — an original work by Veronica Ruiz de Velasco. Authenticity & Terms.
