Everything In Moderation

Abstract artwork titled "Everything in Moderation," featuring a balance of fiery and cool elements. The top depicts an explosion of red mountains with a dark red sky symbolizing heat, while the bottom portrays deep, cold water with dark blue transitioning to light blue. The center features a gradient from pure white to pink, orange, and red upward, and white to light blue, purple, and dark blue downward. This piece symbolizes balance and intentional living.

I painted Everything In Moderation during a time when I was thinking about extremes.

I noticed how often things feel pulled too far in one direction — effort without rest, intensity without pause, certainty without space. When that happens, something begins to feel strained, even if the intention is good.

While I was painting, I found myself working with opposing elements. Strong red tones and cool blues moved toward each other, not to cancel one another out, but to meet. At the center, the colors softened into white.

I wasn’t trying to make a statement or offer a rule. I was paying attention to where things begin to feel calmer — not at either edge, but somewhere in between.

That’s where Everything In Moderation came from.
