Open Edition Fine Art Print from the Original Painting.
In Captivity, I layered a pale lattice over rising charcoal darkness, opening a jagged seam of light that hints at release.

Monochrome and meditative, Captivity, print layers a pale lattice of marks over a rising field of deep charcoal, sliced by a jagged seam of light. The piece feels like a quiet storm on the brink of breaking, inviting reflection on pressure, resilience, and the hope of release. It works as a sophisticated statement in modern living rooms, studies, and contemplative spaces.
I painted Captivity while meditating on seasons where life feels constrained but not abandoned. The pale, tape-like marks at the top began as simple masking shapes, then became a kind of coded barrier or language of limitation. Below, the dark mass holds the weight of exile and uncertainty, while the ragged ridge of light cuts across it, hinting at a line of breakthrough that refuses to disappear.
The work sits deliberately between structure and erosion: some edges are sharp and architectural, others dissolve into mist. I wanted the painting to feel like standing at the edge of something vast and unresolved, watching the first suggestion of change appear along the horizon.

Captivity, print can work in a bathroom or spa-like setting when you choose moisture-resilient formats. Metal and acrylic are the best options for rooms with regular humidity, while framed paper is suitable for well-ventilated spaces away from direct steam.
For this print, available sizes are 12 x 9, 24 x 18, 32 x 24, and 40 x 30 in. A 24 x 18 or 32 x 24 in piece works well over a standard loveseat or writing desk, while the 40 x 30 in size becomes a strong focal point above a full-length sofa.
As a general rule, aim for artwork that is about 60–75% of the width of the furniture below it, and hang the center of the piece around 57–60 in from the floor for comfortable viewing.
Captivity, print is a direct, full-frame reproduction of my 2018 acrylic-on-paper original Captivity (inventory code ART-C-201811). The image has been cropped only to remove the paper border and adjusted for glare, contrast, and color balance; no elements have been added, removed, or digitally repainted.
Sister editions Captivity 2, print and Captivity 3, print are open edition variants that use alternate 3:2 framings of the same painting. This page is specifically for the 4:3 framing that stays true to the full painted field.

Lines try to hold the sky in place,
quiet fences drawn in borrowed light.
Below, a weight of unspoken stories
waits for the ridge of light to give way.
