Beneath the Surface of Stillness
A contemporary abstract artwork exploring depth, atmosphere, and the quiet movement beneath layered colour.
Beneath the Surface of Stillness is an intuitive abstract painting by Lisa Marie Jones, shaped through layered colour, gesture, and emotional resonance. The work invites a slower way of looking, revealing subtle shifts in tone, texture, and movement over time.
The Artwork
This piece explores the meeting place between depth and light — where colour, memory, and emotion quietly merge. Layers of oceanic blues, teals, and softened purples are built through intuitive mark-making, creating a sense of something held just below the surface.
Gestural lines and textured passages suggest movement without urgency, allowing the painting to unfold gradually. There is a feeling of water, air, and reflection, as though light is filtering through layers rather than resting on top of them.
Rather than offering a fixed narrative, Beneath the Surface of Stillness creates space for contemplation. Calm and intensity coexist, with moments of softness balanced by deeper, more grounded marks. The result is a work that feels immersive, atmospheric, and quietly powerful.
