Laura Pretto Vargas

Ethereal Drift is a gentle immersion into the liminal space between dreams and memory. The painting unfolds like a soft breath—fleeting, layered, and deeply atmospheric. Lavender, mauve, powder blue, and pale lemon tones mingle in a delicate choreography, forming a cloudlike expanse that feels both intimate and expansive.

 

Hints of deeper crimson and rust emerge like emotional anchors amid the pastel haze, suggesting moments of intensity within an otherwise weightless field. The surface, animated by expressive strokes and sweeping gestures, captures a sense of movement that feels almost suspended in time—like drifting underwater or floating through a vivid recollection just beyond reach.

 

This work speaks to the emotional translucence of the subconscious—how feelings blur, fade, resurface. Ethereal Drift invites the viewer to surrender logic and be guided instead by sensation, mood, and instinct. It’s a visual echo of that in-between place where longing lingers and healing begins.
