Abstraction 1 (Abstraction)

This work suspends the viewer inside a slow, tidal vortex where blue-black depths and mineral greens shear past one another like opposing currents, turning space into a feeling rather than a place. The composition’s crescent sweep reads as both wave and veil, its granular, chalk-like texture catching dim light in flecks that suggest submerged sediment or distant stars. Within the turbulence, a faint central form hovers—part presence, part erasure—hinting at memory surfacing and dissolving in the same breath. The palette’s cool restraint amplifies a contemplative unease, as if the painting is listening to the pressure and silence beneath motion.
