In Light and Momentary, Anne Reid Artist explores the delicate balance between the ephemeral and the eternal. This fine art print, rendered in an abstract expressionist style, evokes the quiet beauty of transition. The composition centers on a dandelion poised on the threshold of dispersal, its wispy seeds floating into the unknown. The luminous blues and deep teals create a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into a moment suspended in time.
Movement plays a central role in this piece. The airborne seeds, some retaining their golden filaments, suggest both release and continuity. They dance against a background of soft, celestial hues, hinting at unseen currents carrying them forward. The painting resonates with themes of transformation—whether seen through the lens of nature’s cycle, personal growth, or spiritual endurance.
The title, Light and Momentary, draws from 2 Corinthians 4:17: “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” The artwork embodies this idea, inviting contemplation on the weight of temporary struggles against the vastness of hope and renewal.
With its rich symbolism and expressive technique, Light and Momentary is a visual meditation on the transient beauty of life, offering an uplifting reminder of resilience and purpose.
17 We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, 18 because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 The Passion Translation
