Curtains To The Sky
Size:53 x 77 in.
Danielle O'Connor Akiyama's "Curtains to the Sky" is a breathtaking 48" x 72" original oil painting, showcasing her ability to create large-scale, abstract landscapes imbued with an ethereal beauty and sense of transcendence. The artwork features cascading waves of soft, delicate hues, which resemble veils or curtains flowing down the canvas, gradually revealing a serene world beyond. The interplay of colours – from luminous pink cherry blossoms to calming blues and earthy tones – generates a dreamlike atmosphere of tranquillity.
At the heart of the composition are Akiyama’s signature cherry blossoms, rendered in vibrant pinks, gently suspended against the backdrop like fleeting moments captured in time. These blossoms serve as a striking focal point, symbolising the fragile beauty of nature and the fleeting passage of life. Surrounding them, fluid elements convey movement and flow, as soft waterfalls descend down the sides of the canvas, evoking the image of curtains parting to reveal the expanse of the sky beyond.
Akiyama’s deep expertise in Japanese brush painting, or Sumi-e, is evident in the organic brushwork and flowing nature of the piece. Her red chop mark, present in all her works, symbolises her Sumi-e Master’s Seal and her honorary title, ‘Source of Joy’.
"Curtains to the Sky" offers not just a visual experience, but an emotional one as well. Its grandeur and scale allow the viewer to become fully immersed in its beauty, while the intricate details encourage contemplation and introspection. With each viewing, one discovers new elements – the dance of light across the canvas, the texture of the cherry blossoms, or the way the water seems to move and reflect the surrounding world.
Danielle O'Connor Akiyama's work uniquely blends Eastern and Western artistic traditions, merging the calm, meditative essence of traditional Japanese art with the bold, expressive strokes of contemporary abstraction. This painting resonates with a sense of peace, balance, and deep connection to nature, making it a remarkable and memorable piece within her distinguished oeuvre.
