"Moon of Malachi +001" immerses the viewer in a cosmic dance of movement and stillness. The surface is alive with intricate textures that resemble the foamy turbulence of an ocean meeting the stars. Deep blues, muted purples, and silvery whites swirl together, evoking a sense of space and water colliding—realms both familiar and infinite. At a distance, the painting feels like a quiet fragment of the universe, suspended in time. Up close, its marbled intricacy reveals layered forms and organic patterns, reminiscent of planetary crusts, crashing waves, or galactic clouds. The duality of this piece—serene yet chaotic, distant yet tactile—invites personal interpretation and contemplation. The work becomes a portal, bridging the earthly and the otherworldly.
