Radiance

Radiance — Original Abstract Painting by Katrina Cobb

8x8 in | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025 | Framed in White-Washed Pine Wood Float Frame

Radiance explores the unexpected beauty that emerges when we stop trying to perfect ourselves
and begin appreciating the qualities that make us unmistakably who we are.
Inspired by Peridot — August’s birthstone and Katrina's birth month— this piece turns a once-dismissed color
into something luminous and deeply alive.
Deep rusts, shadowed blues, sienna undertones, and forest greens form the earthy foundation,
while muted greens, bright lime tones, and a touch of tangerine light rise through the surface
to create a subtle inner glow.
The result is a grounded yet vibrant composition that feels as if it’s lit from within.

Painted intuitively through Katrina Cobb’s emotional architecture process,
Radiance reflects the moment when self-acceptance becomes its own source of light.
Each layer reveals contrasts: 
depth and brightness, shadow and spark, solidity and movement 
mirroring the truth that our quirks, complexities, and imperfections
are often the most radiant parts of us.
The earthy underpainting holds a quiet strength,
while the bright foreground colors offer a surprising brilliance,
just as personal radiance emerges from embracing one’s unique character rather than hiding it.
As part of the Presence Collection,
this piece invites viewers to honor their own glow 
the inner beauty that shines brightest when placed in the right context and given permission to be seen.

Perfect for intimate interiors, reflective spaces, entryways, or gallery walls focused on warmth and personality,
Radiance brings an atmosphere of grounded confidence and subtle luminosity to any room.
Its layered depth and natural color palette encourage a deeper appreciation
for authenticity, individuality, and the unexpected elements that make a life (or a person) extraordinary.
This small work serves as a meaningful visual reminder
that radiance is not about perfection.
It’s about owning what makes you unique.
