ABSTRACT SHINE Nº2111

2021 by artist Gustaf Tidholm.

Acrylic and pearlescent white on stretched canvas, 100x120 cm / 39x47 in

Abstract Shine N°2111 is a layered exploration of light, depth and perception. The final layer is painted in pearlescent white, creating a unique duality: from a frontal view, the underlying colors and gestures remain visible, subtle but present — yet from an angle, the pearlescent surface takes over, reflecting light and shifting into focus.

This dynamic transformation turns the painting into a living surface that responds to its surroundings. A quiet meditation on how beauty, clarity and truth may reveal themselves differently depending on where we stand.
