Journey Ii (Pathfinders: A Symbolic Journey) Acrylic Figurative Painting

Three elongated, vessel-like figures stand in a quiet procession, their bodies treated as containers of memory—one compartmentalized into warm, embered squares, another holding a single blue “bowl” of calm, and the last marked by a resonant red disc like a seal or pulse. The composition is built on a grid of translucent blues and earthen tones, where layered planes of color create a suspended, nocturnal atmosphere and turn negative space into a kind of soft architecture. Subtle arcs and half-moon motifs echo across the surface, suggesting cycles, offerings, and the repetition of inner rituals, while the faceless heads tilt toward one another as if in wordless counsel. The work reads as an allegory of intimacy and distance—how the self is both shrine and shelter, carrying private contents through a shared, hushed landscape of time.
