About the Artwork
The Meditator by Lorraine van Wyk is a serene and expressive fine art photograph that captures a moment of deep stillness. The subject, a woman with her eyes gently closed, appears wrapped in layers of impasto-style paint—thick strokes that create a textured, almost sculptural surface. The cool palette of soft blues and lilacs evokes a quiet, meditative calm, while delicate flashes of orange bring warmth and creative energy into the scene. Each colour is thoughtfully chosen within the context of meditation: lilac often represents the crown chakra, associated with intuition and higher consciousness, while orange speaks to the sacral chakra, a symbol of emotional connection and creativity.
Van Wyk’s ability to blend painterly technique with photographic precision gives The Meditator a dreamlike presence. The Diasec framing enhances the sharpness of the brush-like textures and the gentle transitions in colour, inviting the viewer to slow down and breathe with the artwork. This piece offers more than visual beauty—it becomes a contemplative space, a moment of pause in a fast-moving world.Â
The Meditator invites personal reflection and emotional clarity, making it an ideal addition to any collection that values aesthetic impact and inner resonance.
