Nostalgic Romance

Nostalgic Romance is a beautiful abstract painting in pink and purple tones, executed in cracking clay and acrylic on canvas.

It belongs to the Spores series, a collection of paintings that explore concentric circles as its central motif, inviting viewers to appreciate the recurring theme across works. Samuel wants the viewer to enjoy the beauty of the colours and textures on their own, so he has used overlapping shapes that will not distract from this. The circles are also calming and pleasing to the eye. These elements create a striking composition that celebrates this colour palette in all of its beauty, with Samuel’s signature textured element.

Spores was the name given to the first painting in this series, and Nostalgic Romance is the second painting. It was named after its romantic colour palette and the time it was painted, being completed a week before Valentine’s Day.

‘Nostalgic Romance’ measures 40cm x 50cm and is presented within a white stained oak frame measuring 43.5cm x 53.5cm x 3.5cm, with a gap between the canvas and frame to showcase the painted edges, highlighting its craftsmanship and display quality.
