Beyond Horizons
Original art by Carmen Delprat.
Oil Painting on Canvas. 91cm x 76cm, 2024.
Beyond Horizons captures a moment of stillness and quiet movement. The rainbow isn’t just colour — it’s a bridge, reminding us that there’s always more beyond what we can see. It’s both a portal outward and inward.
The spiral shell represents the passage of time, folding the past, present and future into one. The background, inspired by Dudley Beach, carries a personal connection — a driftwood sculpture I photographed and worked into this piece, preserving its transient beauty.
The balance between realism and dreamlike elements creates a meditative quality, enhanced by the placement of the crow and shell, symbolising harmony. Soft curves and elemental colours — celeste blue, golden lemon, and deep crimson — invite calm, echoing the air and water elements.
Shells symbolise protection and renewal, grounding the space they occupy.
The right artwork doesn’t just add beauty — it brings feeling, inviting you to reflect and reconnect.

Extra large works on canvas will be removed from their stretcher bars and shipped rolled in a sturdy tube (this will be stated in the description of the painting). Removing works from stretcher bars, ultimately prevents damage during transit and drastically lowers cost of shipping internationally. Your framer will be able to re-stretch the canvas for you at a reasonable cost.
