Mirrors
Oil on Canvas | 16 × 20 in
A reflection of the universe, reflected back to us.
Mirrors is an exploration of contrast, atmosphere, and the connection between Earth and the cosmos. Painted on a black canvas, Vincent intentionally departed from his usual approach of beginning with a lighter background, allowing the darkness to become part of the composition and heighten the intensity of the northern lights above the landscape.
The aurora stretches across the night sky in vivid teal, violet, and crimson, its colors reflected across the surface of a frozen lake below. The reflection creates a visual symmetry between sky and earth, blurring the boundary between the two. The result is a landscape that feels both familiar and otherworldly—like catching a glimpse of the universe within a single moment on Earth.
Mirrors is meant to evoke the awe of witnessing the aurora borealis in person: the feeling of standing beneath something vast and almost impossible to comprehend. In the reflection of the lake, the sky becomes part of the earth and the earth becomes part of the sky—a reminder that, in the end, they are one and the same.
