"Nebula in Velvet Gloves" is a textured abstract painting that evokes the vast, mysterious elegance of a distant cosmic landscape wrapped in soft, powerful restraint. The composition is a rich interplay of bold petrol colours and glowing jewel tones.

 

Texture and brushstrokes create a sense of movement, as though gaseous tendrils are coiling and expanding across the canvas. Layered textures give the impression of depth, as if peering into a layered nebula with its luminous heart just out of reach. The "velvet gloves" of the title are suggested by subtle, soft-textured overlays that blur the harder edges, lending a feeling of gentle containment to the painting’s underlying force.

 

Hints of gold metallic pigment catch the light and shift slightly depending on the viewer’s angle, adding a dynamic, almost living quality. Despite its celestial subject matter, the painting feels intimate—otherworldly yet tactile, like brushing against the edge of a dream or a memory not quite your own.

 

Overall, Nebula in Velvet Gloves is a dramatic, immersive work that balances cosmic scale with sensuous detail, power with elegance.
