"WHAT REMAINS BENEATH" By Toni Al Maalouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Dimensions: 70x50 cm

Description: This abstract painting is a study in contrast and emotion—where blue serves as the foundation of depth and stillness, layered beneath a sweeping veil of dark grey that evokes mystery, memory, or the weight of thought. The blue tones—ranging from deep indigo to soft cerulean—whisper through the grey, creating a moody tension between clarity and obscurity.

Delicate accents of white break through like brief moments of light, while soft yellow introduces a quiet warmth, and a subtle pinch of pink offers an unexpected note of softness and human feeling. The interplay of these colors feels intentional yet intuitive, like fragments of emotion surfacing through a fog.

Textured, layered, and emotionally resonant, the painting invites contemplation—asking viewers to look beneath the surface, to find light within weight, and feeling within abstraction.
