Untitled 1

A vast field of ochre and burnt gold is cleaved by a cool, vertical shaft that reads like a beam of light—or a scar—dividing the painting into a remembered before and after. Along the lower register, dense, smeared passages and flickers of electric blues and reds coalesce into half-formed figures and objects, as if the scene is surfacing through soot, time, and interrupted recollection. The composition stages a tension between radiance and erosion: warmth promises vitality, yet the dark sediment and drifting fragments suggest loss, residue, and the uneasy labor of meaning-making. What emerges is a psychological landscape where presence is continually threatened by dissolution, and the act of seeing becomes an act of recovery.
