Presence is an evocative fine art print that explores the tension between light and shadow, the seen and the unseen. Using a rich, textured palette, Anne Reid Artist captures a moment of illumination—an ethereal glow breaking through darkness, reflecting upon still waters. The vertical brushstrokes create a sense of movement, as if time itself is shifting within the composition.
At the heart of the piece stands a glowing form, reminiscent of a candle, a doorway, or an otherworldly presence. This light anchors the viewer’s gaze, offering a sense of mystery and revelation. To the left, a darkened cross emerges subtly from the vertical streaks, blending into the background yet remaining undeniably present—a symbol of faith, sacrifice, or an invitation to contemplation. The right side of the painting transitions into cool, shadowed hues, contrasting the warmth of the central glow, reinforcing a sense of passage, transition, or spiritual awakening.
Anne Reid Artist’s approach to abstract expressionism allows the viewer to engage with the piece on a deeply personal level. Whether interpreted as a representation of divine presence, a beacon of hope, or a meditation on the nature of light in darkness, Presence invites stillness and reflection. The layered textures and dynamic interplay of colours create an immersive experience, making this print a striking addition to sacred spaces, meditative environments, or collections that explore themes of faith, resilience, and transcendence.
7 Where could I go from your Spirit?
Where could I run and hide from your face?
8 If I go up to heaven, you’re there!
If I go down to the realm of the dead, you’re there too!
9 If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, you’re there!
If I fly into the radiant sunset, you’re there waiting!
10 Wherever I go, your hand will guide me;
your strength will empower me.
11 It’s impossible to disappear from you
or to ask the darkness to hide me,
for your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.
Psalm 139:7-11, The Passion Translation
