Description
Quickening (The First Movement) reflects the fragile miracle of new life and the instinct to protect it. At the heart of the composition, a luminous white form symbolizes the child, surrounded by darker shapes that suggest protective hands reaching inward. Above, a lizard-like figure serves as a symbol of fertility, growth, and life's enduring capacity for renewal.
Inspired by the profound mystery of creation, the painting explores themes of nurture, vulnerability, and guardianship. Through bold color and symbolic forms, the work celebrates the moment when life first makes itself known and the powerful desire to protect what is precious.
