Fragments of Light

Fragments of Light
Petter Leigel, 50 × 60 in, Mixed Media on Canvas

This piece by Petter Leigel has a luminous quality: silver-gray and cool aqua tones form a misty background, against which patches of gold and dark texture appear like fragments of light or weathered surfaces breaking through. It feels simultaneously ethereal and grounded.

Shimmering patches of gold emerge from layers of gray and blue, suggesting the remnants of radiance within weathered surfaces. The composition balances heaviness and luminosity, evoking both erosion and renewal. Leigel transforms material texture into a meditation on how light endures within decay.
