About the painting
Inspired by her father’s final sketch in a Cleveland Clinic hospital room, Sharon Horvath combined acrylic, ink, ash, phosphorescent pigment, and collage to create a cosmic composition where paint swirls across the scraped and reworked surface. Spheres and disks float amid the black background, incised with symmetrical patterns and haloed with rays. Horvath contrasts small organisms that “breathe iron” with the immensity of the universe, placing humans in between as observers.
