An evocative abstract painting dominated by a rich interplay of bold colours and textures. A primary palette of intense reds, deep blacks, and luxurious golds, create a visually arresting composition. Layers of textured paint, cold wax and sand, add depth and dimension to the surface. The texture is palpable, creating a tactile experience for the viewer. The rough, uneven surface of the painting adds a sense of raw energy and spontaneity.
White lines cut across the composition, creating a sense of dissonance and contrast against the vivid background. These lines, sharp and defined, contribute to the complexity of the piece, representing a struggle or tension within the composition, adding a narrative layer to the abstract chaos.
"Dissonance" is a captivating exploration of emotion, form, and colour, inviting viewers to decipher its enigmatic beauty and find their own meaning within its expressive depths.
