Sweeps, 2018 _{An Abstract, Acrylic on Canvas, Painting}

"Sweeps" features broad, gestural brushstrokes that sweep across the canvas, reminiscent of waves or gentle gusts of wind. The dominant cool blue tones are interspersed with subtle greens, soft whites, and hints of warmer shades, suggesting depth and movement. Shalem's layering of colors and textures evokes a sense of fluidity and openness, while the darker accents appear like shadows or figures, adding a touch of mystery. This painting might resonate deeply in a tranquil, meditative space such as a bedroom or spa, inviting contemplation and calm. The artwork's scale and soothing palette make it a statement piece that can transform a large wall into a focal point of serene beauty.
