Celestial Abstract Mixed Media Painting by Keelia Spencer

This is an original contemporary mixed media artwork by Keelia Spencer, presented in a portrait orientation. The composition features a celestial or cosmic theme, executed primarily in a monochromatic palette of black, white, and various scales of gray. The left side of the piece depicts a dark, stippled background mimicking a night sky with fine white splatters representing distant stars and nebulae. Near the bottom left, there is a prominent, circular textured form resembling a moon or planet, detailed with heavy impasto or sponge-like application to create a cratered appearance. The right half of the composition is characterized by highly textured, organic vertical formations that suggest a cliff face or ethereal forest, created through aggressive layering and scraping techniques. The work is professionally mounted with a wide white mat and housed in a thin, contemporary white wood or composite frame under glazing. The craftsmanship shows a strong understanding of texture and abstract balance. Condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, moisture damage, or fading to the pigments; the frame shows minor shelf wear consistent with age. Based on the style and artist, this is a 21st-century contemporary piece.
