Resonance Collection
2023, Acrylic on Canvas 36 x 48 in (91 x 122 cm)
Resonance is more than a portrait, it is a meditation on the fragmented layers of human existence. The shifting fields of color, broken yet harmonious, suggest how identity is never singular but composed of countless experiences, memories, and emotions. The subject’s gaze is steady, almost confrontational, pulling the viewer into a silent dialogue.
Hartwell paints the face not as a likeness, but as a mirror. The viewer is invited to see their own uncertainties and strength reflected back. The fiery reds and oranges vibrate with urgency and passion, while the deep blues and muted shadows temper the canvas with quiet melancholy. This duality embodies what it means to be human: to hold vulnerability and resilience in the same breath.
The philosophy behind “Resonance” lies in its refusal to resolve, the brushstrokes never fully blend, the colors never settle into comfort. Instead, the work insists on tension, on presence, on the beauty of imperfection. For Hartwell, painting is not about depicting the world as it is, but about revealing the inner landscapes we carry with us, fractured, luminous, and endlessly alive.
