Rectangular planes overlap in shifting transparencies, creating a sense of depth similar to the way layered thoughts or memories stack within a mind. The surface is dynamic yet contemplative: dense blue areas anchor the painting, while luminous ochre and soft white sections open space and movement. The interplay between the scraped textures and the smooth glazes gives the work a tactile, almost sculptural presence, as if the painting were slowly revealing its internal architecture. The fragmented arrangement of shapes evokes an abstract portrait, where emotion is suggested through structure rather than depiction.

I love it because it feels introspective and powerful, like the visual equivalent of a deep inner dialogue. The contrast between the calm blues and the radiant ochres creates a striking emotional balance. The surface holds a quiet tension—controlled, elegant, and full of meaning—offering something new every time you look at it.

Created with acrylic paint on board, using layered brushstrokes, scraped textures, and overlapping opaque and translucent planes to build a richly dimensional abstract surface. See less
