Momentum 5

This painting erupts in a volatile dialogue between ember-orange and abyssal black, where scraped, scarred textures turn the surface into a record of impact rather than a window onto illusion. Pale, chalky passages flare like momentary clearings, only to be overrun by darker swells, creating a restless push-pull that keeps the eye suspended between ignition and collapse. The composition reads as a kind of emotional topography—layers of gesture, erasure, and return—suggesting memory as sediment: built, broken, and rebuilt under pressure. In its roughened luminosity, the work holds both violence and vitality, as though the act of making were itself a controlled burn.
