Stairs to Love original painting
by Jasmina Mendoza
Stairs to Love is an original mixed media painting by artist Jasmina Mendoza, created during a single, immersive creative day—from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This uninterrupted process reflects a state of deep focus, where intuition, emotion, and movement guided every decision on the canvas.
At the heart of the composition, the word LOVE is not presented as a fixed symbol, but as a journey. Geometric, pyramidal forms rise and intersect, suggesting structure, strength, and ascension. Flowing through the painting are stair-like black and white lines that evoke rhythm, passage, and the idea of moving step by step toward something meaningful. These visual “stairs” invite the viewer to travel through the artwork rather than simply observe it.
Influenced by contemporary cubist abstraction, the piece balances bold color with intentional restraint. Warm and cool tones coexist, creating contrast and harmony while guiding the eye across the composition. Texture plays a central role and is achieved through acrylic paint, heavy structure gel, white paint markers, permanent pens, and colored gel pens, resulting in a richly layered surface that responds to light and space.
The included images feature thoughtfully curated interior mockups, offering a realistic sense of how Stairs to Love lives within modern and serene environments. These visualizations help you imagine the artwork as part of your own space.
Stairs to Love is an invitation to reflect, rise, and move beyond limitations—one step at a time.
