About the Collection

Let There Be Light is an abstract art collection by Suzane Christie, consisting of 12 original oil paintings that explore the fluid and ever-changing states of our mind. Inspired by the movement and rhythm of ocean waves, each painting captures a state of mind and distinct emotional atmosphere —some illuminated by clarity and peace, others steeped in the quiet tension of shadow

Through expressive brushstrokes and an ethereal blend of colours, this collection delves into the interplay of light and darkness, revealing that darkness is not an opposing force but rather a mere absence of illumination. Just as waves rise and fall, our minds shift between different states—some moments bathed in light, others drifting into a dark void.

Each painting in this collection serves as a visual meditation of these shifting mental landscapes, illustrating how light, both literal and symbolic, transforms perception and experience. The ocean’s movement becomes a metaphor for this dance between illumination and obscurity, reflecting how even the most turbulent waters are shaped by the presence or absence of light.

Whether serene, radiant, gloomy or introspective, each painting holds its own unique energy, inviting the viewer to pause and recognize the transitory nature of their own inner world. In its entirety, this collection embodies both stillness and motion through a rich palette of colour gradation, featuring cool blues, purples, and greens that are accented with warm whites, orange, yellows, and earthy ochres.

Let There Be Light speaks to the quiet power of awareness, the way light reveals depth and dimension, and how a moment of its presence can bring harmony to the ever-shifting tides of the mind. It asks viewers one pertinent question – What is your source of Light?
