Untitled 24 (The Inner Flame)

Against a hushed, earthen ground, the painting erupts in a vertical convulsion of pigment—cobalt and ember, magenta and ash—suggesting a figure or winged presence trying to cohere from fracture. Thick, granular passages catch the light like scorched sediment, while darker seams cleave through the color as if recording impact, erosion, and renewal in the same breath. The composition reads as a struggle between gravity and ascent: luminous strata push upward, yet are continually interrupted, turning the work into a meditation on emergence—how vitality insists on appearing even through abrasion and loss.
