LIFE FORCE 2026 Oil on canvas 120 x 100 cm 13 000 kr Signed: Malin Sahlén LIFE FORCE is an intuitive abstract oil painting where light becomes a symbol of life force, movement and inner awakening. At the centre of the work, a glowing source of light emerges through layers of warm gold, rose, terracotta, soft blue and earthy tones. Around it, luminous marks, circular forms, prism like shapes and star like details create a sense of energy moving through the entire composition. A deep red and golden movement rises through the painting like a path, a reflection or a stream of consciousness leading toward the light. The surrounding layers feel both earthly and cosmic, as if sky, landscape, water and universe exist within the same field. The darker tones at the lower part of the work ground the painting, while the upper layers open into a vibrant atmosphere of colour, rhythm and expansion. Light moves through the surface as something alive, present and continuous. LIFE FORCE is a painting about the energy that carries life forward. It reflects the inner light that remains, grows and transforms through everything. The work invites the viewer into a space of presence, awareness and connection, where the visible and invisible meet in one living flow.
