Executed in layered mixed-media on canvas, this large-scale composition explores balance, tension, and architectural poise through a symphony of intersecting curves and planes.

The palette, an elegant orchestration of warm taupe, putty, stone gray, and velvety black, conjures a sense of timeless calm, grounded by rich texture and dimensional layering. Subtle incised lines, painterly gradients, and crackled surfaces give the work a tactile sophistication, echoing ancient frescoes and contemporary design in equal measure.

Striking yet serene, Gravity makes a museum-worthy statement in any setting! Ideal for refined interiors that embrace modernism, Brutalist elegance, or collected minimalism.
