Original Painting "Thought as a journey" - Contemporary Abstract Art

Original acrylic painting O Pensamento como Viagem (Thought as a Journey) by Catarina Garcia. A unique contemporary abstract artwork that explores thought as a journey of imagination and discovery. Acrylic on canvas, 47cm x 55cm

This contemporary painting by Catarina Garcia, in acrylic on canvas, explores introspection, conceiving thought as a sensory, mental, and emotional journey.
The composition unfolds in layers of color, organic lines, and curved forms that evoke flows of thought and emotional states.
Human figures appear isolated, in gestures of withdrawal or contemplation, suspended in a symbolic space between dream and memory.
The palette alternates warm and cool tones, reflecting the contrast between emotion and rationality, the revealed and the hidden.
Abstract elements function as visual metaphors for mental pathways, with curves, tunnels, and blocks forming a dynamic unity.
The repetition of circular shapes suggests cycles and moments of self-reflection.
On the edges, stylized figures reflect consciousness or serve as guardians of memory.
The center of the canvas, with two standing male figures, creates an axis of balance between inner and outer worlds.
The work invites contemplation and the silent listening to oneself, revealing a profound inner landscape.
The creative process combines years of practice, improvisation, and unexpected discoveries, generating new themes to explore.
