Original Painting - Between Then And Now
This abstract painting bursts with frenetic energy and layered emotion. A flurry of dynamic gestures—loops, drips, and erratic marks—dance across the canvas, creating a vibrant tension between chaos and cohesion. Bold streaks of deep navy and black scribbles anchor the lower half, while vibrant yellows drip downward like melting sunlight. Swaths of crimson, magenta, turquoise, and burnt orange explode outward, interweaving with layers of scraped texture and raw, tactile surfaces. The background, a cracked and weathered white, offers moments of breath amid the riot of color, giving the work a sense of timeworn memory or resurfaced history.
The piece feels improvisational yet intentional—like a visual diary of emotional impressions or sonic echoes. There’s movement, weight, and a refusal to be still. It could suggest the conflict between inner turmoil and external clarity—an evolving landscape of thought, identity, or transformation.
