Tonia Johnsen | Love and Light

$1,728.00

Tonia Johnsen, Love and Light, oil and oil bars on gallery wrapped canvas, 36x48x1.5 in.

INSPIRATION
The inspiration for this peace is the strong urge to be very expressive and bold. To dive in fully with the reoccurring shapes and marks that are deeply personal to me. To share without fear.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores connection with the unseen. Through abstraction, I investigate the presence of

forces that shape us but cannot be physically measured — energy, memory, intuition, and shared experience.

I am interested in how structure and movement coexist, and how visible forms can suggest invisible systems beneath the surface. Layered color and shifting geometry create spaces that feel both grounded and expansive.

Rather than defining what the unseen is, my paintings create room for viewers to encounter and sense it for themselves.
