Slant of Light

Piece description from the artist

Inspired by the vermilion glow of a brilliant sunrise, I tried to depict the enchanting interplay of light and darkness during the emergence of a new day. Symbolizing themes of rebirth, growth, and the cycle of beginnings, the sunrise serves as a reminder of the eternal rhythm of life.

To convey the glow of light on an awakening city, I layered paint with gold leaf for depth and luminosity. The painting also incorporates the number six, representing balance between the earthly and etheric realms.

About Cynthia Ligeros

Englewood, CO

The art of Cynthia Ligeros incorporates impressionist elements that reveal an inner landscape to the viewer, an image at once familiar and transcendent. She seeks to explore our place in a world that we have created, yet one which also creates us.

Her paintings often begin with a single driving emotion. From that, an image develops, inspired by the colors, cycles and feelings of the environment.

Sunsets, moonscapes, flowers, the changing seasons — all of these are sources of inspiration, adding richness and layers of complexity to her paintings.

Even industrial spaces and structures figure prominently in her work, contrasting the artifice of the cityscape against the limitless beauty of the sky.

As she paints, she redefines the spaces around us and how they connect to our lives.

Her artwork was recently acquired by Colorado Creative Industries for the newly remodeled Ketchum Arts and Sciences Building at CU Boulder.

Her art has appeared at the Denver Mayor’s Residence, Denver International Airport, the Madden Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Professional Artist Magazine, FOX News, and galleries from San Francisco to New York City.
