Struggling Thoughts (Red and Black Abstract)

This painting stages a slow collision between incandescent reds and weighty black forms, where light seems to leak through layered veils rather than illuminate outright. The composition is built from fractured planes and half-erased edges, creating a sense of figures or structures emerging, then retreating, as if memory is repeatedly revised. Its heat is not celebratory but psychological—an inner weather of pressure, longing, and contained unrest—held together by the gravity of shadow and the stubborn persistence of pigment. In the push-pull between opacity and flare, the work reads like a map of emotional architecture: rooms of intensity, corridors of silence, and sudden apertures of breath.
