Back to Black
Back to Black
"Back to Black" by Keyishian stands as a powerful visual departure from her more vibrant works, embracing the interplay of light and dark with a restrained color palette. The abstract forms scattered across the canvas produce a sense of rhythm and movement, as though the painting itself pulses with hidden energy. There’s an underlying tension in the piece - echoing the influence of Keyishian's deep connection to music, where mood and repetition create an emotional landscape. The circular and fragmented shapes are both calculated and spontaneous, mirroring the unpredictable nature of existence. The black backdrop grounds the work, while the luminous whites and soft blues emerge like fragments of thought or memory surfacing from the subconscious. Through this artwork, Keyishian channels the raw energy of her influences, capturing the complexity of searching for place and identity in a world that feels transient and ever-shifting.
