In Minaret, Hal Mayforth distills architecture into sensation and memory. Rather than describing a place, the painting evokes one—an upward-reaching form suggested through interlocking arches, domes, and softly tapering shapes. Warm, earthen hues are balanced by expansive blues and turquoise, creating a luminous tension between gravity and air, structure and reverie.

Layered transparencies invite slow looking, revealing subtle shifts in color and geometry that change with light and proximity. The composition carries a quiet spiritual charge without overt symbolism, making Minaret both meditative and contemporary. It is a work that rewards repeated viewing, offering collectors a piece that feels timeless, architectural, and deeply felt—an abstracted sanctuary rendered in paint.

Painted upon return from a trip to Mammoth Lakes, CA.
