A Floating Fantasy (2026)

Original Fine Art Painting by Ashvin Harrison

A Floating Fantasy is a large-scale original painting that captures the boundless nature of imagination and the quiet power of inner vision. Through a fusion of hyperreal charcoal portraiture and explosive abstract movement, the work reflects the beauty of a mind untethered by limitation.

At the centre of the composition, a serene female figure tilts her head upward with closed eyes, suspended in a moment of peaceful surrender. Her form is rendered in soft coconut charcoal tones, grounding the piece in realism and emotional depth. From her flowing hair emerges a vast cosmic landscape — a universe of splashed colour, drifting planets, and a solitary hot air balloon floating gently among the stars.

The balloon, delicately detailed against a midnight sky, becomes a symbol of freedom and exploration. It suggests the courage to rise above earthly constraints and drift toward possibility. Surrounding planets orbit within the chaos of colour, representing dreams, memories, and the infinite narratives we carry within our minds.

Sweeps of teal, gold, amber, and white burst outward in layered motion, creating a sense of expansion and vitality. The expressive splashes contrast with the calmness of the figure, highlighting the duality between inner stillness and the vibrant complexity of thought. The composition feels both explosive and controlled — a visual representation of imagination in motion.

A Floating Fantasy speaks to the power of perspective. It reminds the viewer that entire universes exist within us — that creativity, memory, desire, and hope can coexist in harmony when we allow ourselves to drift beyond fear and expectation. It is a meditation on inner freedom, self-trust, and the quiet courage to dream expansively.
