More Abstract
This painting presents itself as a layered field of tension and restraint, where blocks of color and gestural marks feel both intentional and unsettled. Earth tones and muted pastels overlap in a grid like structure, suggesting an attempt at order that never fully stabilizes. The surface feels worked and reworked, with traces of earlier decisions left visible rather than corrected, allowing the viewer to sense the passage of time and thought embedded in the piece.
The composition moves the eye between soft washes and harsher interruptions, where scraped textures and darker vertical lines cut through the quieter areas. These divisions create a push and pull between openness and confinement, as if the painting is negotiating between expression and suppression. Circular forms and repeated marks appear almost symbolic, hinting at cycles, rituals, or recurring thoughts that never quite resolve themselves.
As a gallery work, the painting invites slow viewing and personal interpretation rather than a single narrative. It functions as an emotional landscape rather than a literal one, reflecting inner states such as memory, conflict, and reflection through abstraction. The ambiguity is intentional, allowing each viewer to project their own experiences onto the surface and find meaning within the balance of chaos and control that defines the work.
