Remnants #3 - Original Painting
This painting feels like a constellation of fragments as marks, colors, and gestures are suspended in an expanse of textured white. Vibrant bursts of cobalt blue, fire orange, lemon yellow, and fresh green anchor the piece, their raw intensity contrasted by scribbled graphite-like lines and delicate, sketchy contours.
The composition is scattered but intentional: clusters of paint and line suggest living forms, while the negative space between them amplifies a sense of pause and breath. A string of circular shapes, outlined in black and filled with earthy greens and oranges, runs across the canvas like a coded sequence or a row of seeds, hinting at cycles and continuity.
The surface itself, ridged and uneven, carries the memory of process… each scrape, drip, and mark layered into a tactile history. This work speaks of remnants, traces left behind, and the beauty in fragments that resist being pieced neatly together.
