Refined, by Payton James, is a collection of abstract landscapes that explore the liminal space between breaking and becoming, where what was lost begins to take new form. Through layered textures, fractured surfaces, and glimmers of gold, each piece honors the quiet strength formed in the in-between and the beauty that emerges on the other side.
Built through heavy layers and raw texture, this abstract landscape resembles dry, desert like terrain split with crevices and craters, like earth longing for rain. A subtle river-like path winds through the surface, suggesting that even in the most barren seasons, life is already beginning to return.
Materials: Acrylic paint, acrylic mediums, gold mica flakes, pigment powder, mixed media
Size: 6” x 6”
