About this painting

This piece depicts the strength and passion that lies within humans, with the individual at the centre willing us to explore these further. The power in this painting has been created using expressive brushstrokes, an intricate underpainting, strong and vibrant colour palette, and contrasting marks and textures. It is painted on a box canvas 18 x 24 inches in size, which is painted black on the sides and signed by Gillian Hancey in the bottom right corner.

​

We can meet people with a richness of inspiring knowledge, thoughts, ideas and plans in their minds that is not immediately apparent. This collection acknowledges this potential in those who are quiet and introverted. Rather than mourn what is hidden, the vibrant colours create an uplifting and positive celebration of this strength.
