Untitled 21 (Village Sunset)

This painting compresses a hillside village into a tapestry of pitched roofs and clustered palms, where architecture and vegetation interlock like remembered fragments of a lived landscape. A saturated ember-orange atmosphere washes over the scene, flattening depth while carving forms through abrupt, cool shadows—suggesting dusk not as a time of day but as an emotional temperature. The repeating rooflines become a gentle rhythm of shelter, while the dark tree silhouettes stand as quiet sentinels, implying continuity and communal endurance beneath a heat-hazed sky. In its simplified geometry and bold chromatic push-pull, the work reads as both cartography and reverie: a place mapped by feeling rather than by distance.
