Autumn

A luminous field of saffron-gold holds the composition like a sunlit silence, while two diagonals of densely layered color collide and braid into a single, volatile crossroads. Fragments of crimson, violet, and soot-black are built up with scraped textures and stenciled motifs, suggesting urban memory—walls, signage, and histories—compressed into palimpsest. The bright ground reads as both illumination and exposure, making the darker accretions feel like lived experience pressing against an open, optimistic horizon. In this tension between radiance and residue, the painting becomes a meditation on passage: how we move through upheaval and still find a center that holds.
