Title: Sea of Euphoria, Abstract mixed media painting with deep blue tones and vibrant orange and yellow accents by David Hovan, expressing movement and emotional energy.

Artwork Description

Sea of Euphoria is a vibrant abstract work where saturated blues form a deep, immersive field, energized by bursts of orange, yellow, and luminous whites. Layered textures, drips, and sweeping gestures evoke movement beneath the surface, suggesting waves of emotion and spontaneous release. David Hovan’s expressive mark-making creates a sense of rhythm and intensity, inviting viewers to experience the painting as both an emotional landscape and a moment of pure, unrestrained vitality.

Artist Biography

David Hovan is a Vancouver-based artist and writer whose practice spans painting, literature, theatre, and film. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, he studied in the Middle East and the United States, earning a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts, followed by doctoral studies in art history, theory, and criticism at the University of Illinois.

His painting practice centres on abstraction as an exploration of memory, identity, and perception. Working through layered surfaces, colour, texture, and gesture, Hovan investigates the shifting relationship between what is seen, what is remembered, and what remains unresolved. His work moves between expressive intensity and quiet restraint, allowing form and meaning to emerge without imposing a fixed interpretation.

His paintings are held in collections throughout Canada and internationally.
