Last Breath
Original painting
(2016) Acrylic on Canvas
36" x 48"
Hangs vertically or horizontally
You will need to gasp for your “Last Breath” before taking this plunge into the abyss. Inspired by the opening lyrics of “The Affair,” this painting layers crisscrossing texture mixed with washes of silvery blue to weave a story of mixed emotion, profound in-difference and desire. Combine that with a palette of soft blues, the palest of greens mixed with gray, cream and white along side dramatic navy. The canvas edges are finished in silver on 1.5" stretchers. The painting is signed on the back, wired and ready to hang.

From the studio
“I can fall madly in love with the sparkle from the edge of a gold glass vase, or obsess over the texture of a stone found along a walk. As a way to hold onto these bits of beauty, I started creating art.”
— Julia Contacessi
