Tomorrow's light, yesterday's shadow

Piece description from the artist

This artwork is a striking abstract composition characterized by its bold use of color and dynamic arrangement of vertical panels. The piece is divided into distinct sections, each utilizing vibrant yellows, deep blues, and rich blacks, interspersed with softer, more translucent areas that suggest fluidity and movement. Central to the work is the interplay between light and dark, with bright hues merging seamlessly, creating an energetic juxtaposition with the darker, more somber tones. Splashes and drips of paint add texture and spontaneity, inviting the viewer to explore each segment's depths. The artist masterfully balances chaos and order, evoking emotions of joy and contemplation. The seamless gradient transitions and variations in opacity depict a sense of harmony, making this piece both visually stimulating and thought-provoking. The artwork carries a rhythm that resonates with the viewer, embodying a perfect blend of structure and fluidity.

Title: Tomorrow’s Light, Yesterday’s ShadowSize: 36 × 36 inchesMedium: Oil pastel, acrylic paint, textured oil stick on stretched canvas (ready to hang)Tomorrow’s Light, Yesterday’s Shadow is a visual elegy for the moments we lose and the emotions that remain. Through a palette of layered strokes in red, pink, green, black, blue, yellow, orange, and white, the piece captures the raw beauty of pain—how it shapes us, lingers within us, and slowly begins to fade beneath the promise of light.Built with oil pastel and acrylic paint, the surface carries a weight—both in color and texture.

About Poonam Choudhary

Victor, NY

Poonam Choudhary is a distinguished contemporary abstract artist, whose work is deeply influenced by her personal journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of contentment. With a bold and expressive approach, her dynamic compositions are defined by sweeping shapes, vibrant colors, and intricate layered textures. Each piece invites the viewer into an exploration of both visual and emotional depth, encouraging a deeper engagement with the work while allowing for personal interpretation and connection.

At the core of Poonam’s artistic practice is a profound engagement with the ephemeral—capturing fleeting moments suspended in time that resonate with emotional depth. Her art transcends the visible, reflecting the spaces between breaths, the tension between stillness and motion, and the fragile equilibrium of being alive. Each canvas serves as a portal, each brushstroke an exploration of the unspoken. Poonam’s process is a fluid dialogue between intention and instinct, where the materials themselves guide her, revealing both personal and universal truths.

Working primarily with high-quality acrylics, Poonam harnesses the medium's fluidity and depth to build rich, multilayered works that evoke a sense of movement and emotional complexity. Her creative process embraces the tension between control and surrender, allowing the work to unfold organically and intuitively.

In recent years, Poonam has been particularly absorbed by capturing the delicate balance of the present moment—the instant when transformation and stillness coexist, when impermanence itself becomes palpable. This interplay between change and stability is central to her exploration of visual and emotional dynamics. The shifting of shapes, the vibrancy of color, and the subtle power of contrast are recurring elements in her work, each chosen to convey the profound beauty of life’s transient nature.

Color plays a pivotal role in Poonam’s compositions. She views it as a dynamic force, where colors converse, vibrate, and interact with one another. The tension between contrasting hues—where one retreats as another advances—creates a visual language that mirrors the complexity of human emotions. This dialogue of harmony and discord within her works speaks to the ever-evolving nature of the human experience.

Through her art, Poonam invites viewers into a space of reflection, where form and emotion converge. Her work is not merely a visual experience but an emotional journey, one that encourages personal reflection and introspection. Each piece offers an opportunity to witness the viewer's own truth, capturing the delicate equilibrium between the fleeting present and the infinite.

Poonam’s work continues to evolve as she refines her artistic vision and shares her interpretations of the human condition. She is grateful for the opportunity to connect with those who pause to engage with her creations, allowing their own experiences and reflections to breathe life into her art.
