Rflective Serentity by Karen Stemmle is the signature piece in her "Reflection Series." A mixed-media piece that captures both the fluidity of acrylic paint and the rigidity of metal sculpture.
The canvas measures approximately 14" by 14" and is dominated by various shades of blue acrylic. The expertly blended light and dark blues, create a dynamic background that suggests movement, like waves in the ocean or swirling clouds in the sky.
Overlaying this vibrant backdrop is a striking metal face sculpture. The face is intricately detailed, with sharp, angular features that contrast starkly against the soft blues of the acrylic. The metal has a slight reflective quality, catching the light and adding a new dimension to the piece. The sculpture appears almost three-dimensional, emerging from the canvas and inviting viewers to reach out and touch it.
The juxtaposition of the smooth, flowing acrylic with the structured, gleaming metal creates a captivating interplay of textures and materials. This piece evokes a sense of introspection and depth, drawing viewers into its complex layers and encouraging them to ponder the emotions and stories hidden within the face and the swirling blues behind it.
