Forbidden

from $490.00

There are places we are drawn toward precisely because we are not meant to enter them.

Forbidden explores that quiet tension between attraction and restraint—the moment when curiosity encounters a boundary. Light, form, and shadow create a sense of somewhere just beyond reach, inviting the eye closer while quietly asking it to remain outside.

The work does not reveal what lies beyond the threshold. Instead, it leaves that discovery to the viewer. What is forbidden may be a place, a memory, a desire, or simply something we are not yet ready to understand.

Forbidden is an invitation to pause at the edge of the unknown.

Recommended Sizes

  • 28×37 - Hallways, entryways, bathrooms, small area

  • 35×46 - Average size rooms bedrooms, dens, dining rooms

  • 39×51 - Large rooms - Statement size

  • 43×57 - Limited Edition framed and ready to display

Recommended Frame

Thin black (wood or metal) and no border necessary.

That feels cleaner and more contemporary. The black frame becomes the boundary, while the artwork itself goes right to the edge. There’s no visual interruption between the viewer and the image.

Special requests are always welcome. If you have a custom size, framing preference, or a unique project in mind, I invite you to submit an inquiry.

Recommended Lighting

  • Keep the light slightly off-axis to minimize reflections if presented under acrylic or glass.

  • Aim for even illumination across the artwork, while allowing its darker areas to retain their depth.

  • Avoid strong overhead ambient lighting that can flatten the contrast and diminish the sense of mystery.

  • A high-CRI LED (90+ CRI) is preferable for maintaining subtle tonal and color relationships.

  • For hospitality environments, approximately 100–200 lux at the artwork should provide a refined presence without making it visually dominant.

Forbidden

Forbidden explores the quiet tension between attraction and restraint. Light, shadow, and form create an atmosphere of mystery, drawing the viewer toward something just beyond reach.

Designed for interiors where art is meant to create mood and invite discovery, Forbidden brings a sense of depth and intrigue to boutique hospitality, luxury residential, and refined commercial spaces. Its contemplative presence allows the work to engage the viewer while remaining beautifully integrated with the surrounding environment.
