Veil of Becoming

Veil of Becoming began as an experiment with glazing. I started with a dark background and built lighter, transparent layers over it, allowing portions of the earlier layers to remain visible. I wanted to see whether working this way would give the shapes greater depth and dimension.

​

As the painting developed, the darker forms remained present beneath the surface, while the lighter colors seemed to float above them. When I stepped back, I began to see those lighter layers as a veil—covering, but never completely hiding, what was still developing underneath.

​

That discovery gave the painting its title. Veil of Becoming is about what is already there, gradually revealing itself through the layers.
