Untitled 63 (Beneath the Surface)

This painting conjures an aquatic drift where fish glide like fleeting thoughts through a lattice of dark, gestural lines—part net, part current—suggesting both containment and passage. A cool, mosaic-like field of blues is punctured by warm ochres and pale golds, as if light is filtering down in broken fragments, turning the water into a shimmering memory rather than a literal scene. The simplified eyes and elongated bodies read as quiet witnesses, their steady gaze set against the restless scratch of the surface, evoking the tension between instinctual freedom and the structures that intercept it. In this suspended choreography, the work becomes a meditation on vulnerability: life moving forward while the world around it insists on pattern, pressure, and trace.
