LA PÉRIODE BLEUE
Lumi spent 18 months painting only with the color blue.
During this time she explored her connection to the color through her femininity, relating to the transcendence of the human form as well as the divine power of the moon.
The exploration and discovery of self is but a nostalgic, endless unraveling. Lumi gracefully explores her mind's illusive story of the past and future through the present meditation with self. Her visions become the guidance that inform the profound moments, weaving seamlessly into each composition.
The present unfolds indefinitely, as she attempts to embody the illusion of time throughout each piece- at times rather surreal landscapes become a space to contemplate, and others, higher forms of abstraction take the forefront of her work.

A NOTE FROM LUMI,
I spent about one month producing each painting from this series, I worked multiple nine to five jobs, and spent my evenings painting until the sun was far below the horizon. The compositions are a direct reflection of the pain and confusion I was feeling during a transitional period of my life. I attended university, graduating in the midst of the pandemic, struggling with isolation and the internal turbulence of an artist.
The story unfolds as I find peace and understanding through the challenges of life, of spirit, and of the mind. Ultramarine blue becomes the metaphysical ocean for my ego and higher self to integrate into a fully realized version of my spirit.
My passion and dedication echoes in every brushstroke, further honored by the exclusivity of these original paintings.
