Jim Amaral

De Profundis Reflections, No. 50

A richly layered composition by Jim Amaral, *De Profundis Reflections, No. 50* combines acrylic, oil, and collage on board to create a work of haunting depth and complexity. Fragments of text and imagery are embedded within luminous, atmospheric fields of color, suggesting themes of memory, introspection, and the subconscious. The interplay of translucent paint and collaged elements evokes a sense of accumulated time, as though the surface itself holds the residue of thought and feeling.
