Artwork description

This painting, The Nativity (Jean Hey Improvisation), reimagines a sacred theme through the lens of abstraction and modern expression. At the center, two figures—echoes of Mary and Joseph—emerge in soft, luminous tones, their gestures tender as they gaze upon the infant.

The traditional nativity moment is fractured and reframed by vivid strokes of color: deep reds, radiant yellows, and electric greens collide with shadowed grays, creating an atmosphere that is both spiritual and contemporary. The forms shift between recognition and dissolution, as if the scene is glimpsed through layers of time and memory.

The composition balances reverence with disruption, preserving the essence of devotion while pushing against the boundaries of representation. The infant, bathed in light, becomes the still heart of the painting amid surrounding turbulence. This interplay of order and fragmentation transforms the familiar biblical subject into a meditation on renewal, fragility, and the persistence of faith within a shifting, chaotic world.
