Close Your Eyes And I Will Lead Study Original Art by Andreas Claussen
Mixed Media Painting
Framed 39cm x 44cm
From Claussen's contemplative "FLOOD" series, this study painting captures a quiet moment as an astronaut drifts on a green lily pad in misty waters. Set against a soft grey sky, the red-suited figure appears to be surrendering to the serenity of their surreal situation.
Claussen's masterful technique is evident in the loose, impressionistic brushstrokes that create an ethereal atmosphere. His careful attention to the reflections in both the water and the astronaut's helmet creates a piece that perfectly balances environmental commentary with meditative tranquility, suggesting themes of trust and adaptation in uncertain times.
