Title: Enlightenment
Year: 2023
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Artist: Harry Rosenow
 
Enlightenment evokes the moment when presence cuts through confusion—a flash of clarity within the flow of doubt, intuition, and mystery. Painted during a transformative stage of the artist’s process in Mongolia, the work speaks to the subtle yet powerful shift from darkness to understanding.
 
Harry Rosenow is a contemporary artist known for his intuitive painting style, where brushstrokes are guided by pigments and materials rather than premeditated plans. His work captures raw emotion and spontaneity, reflecting an unfiltered expression of what moves him.
He created this series of paintings in June and July 2023 in Karakorum, during his residency at the Steppe Art Residency, hosted by the Mongolian Calligraphy and Art Center.
