This piece unfolds like a slow-burning eruption—an intimate storm of texture, depth, and submerged light. Layers of crimson, rust, and obsidian press against one another, creating a surface that feels both ancient and alive. The paint ripples with organic formations, as if shaped by heat, pressure, or memory. A pale, luminous center emerges from the darkness, not as a clean break but as a fractured glow—something trying to surface through a dense, weathered shell. The painting holds the tension between decay and renewal. Its mottled, mineral-like texture suggests something excavated, unearthed, or born from geological time. The deeper tones absorb light while the raised, reflective passages catch it, shifting the atmosphere with every angle of view. It’s a work that doesn’t speak in imagery but in sensation—raw, tactile, immersive. A quiet cosmic violence, stilled into form.
