The Fluttering Chest
16 × 12 inches
Acrylic on canvas
The Fluttering Chest explores the embodied experience of falling in love—the moment when emotion becomes physical, when warmth radiates outward and the heart feels alive with motion. At its center, a luminous heart emerges as both symbol and sensation, surrounded by winged forms, radiant geometry, and sunlit structures that suggest expansion, vulnerability, and intensity.
The composition balances symmetry with movement, mirroring the tension between control and surrender that accompanies deep connection. Flames of color and beams of light evoke passion and vitality, while layered details invite prolonged viewing and quiet reflection.
This work is an offering to intimacy—an exploration of love not as an idea, but as a felt experience that animates the body and reshapes perception. Created for collectors drawn to emotionally resonant work and for spaces that honor connection, transformation, and inner radiance.
