About the Artwork
Fire in the sky: This abstract painting evokes the meeting point between water, weather, and light. Deep, textured blues gather along the lower edge like a restless shoreline or mountain range, while soft washes of white, turquoise, yellow, and orange open above it into an atmospheric sky. The surface feels layered and weathered, with scraped and diffused marks suggesting mist, reflection, erosion, and movement.
The piece carries a sense of landscape without becoming literal. It feels like a memory of a place: part coast, part storm, part sunrise. The contrast between the dark blue lower forms and the luminous upper field creates an emotional pull between grounding and expansion, turbulence and calm.
Why I Painted It
This work explores the shifting boundary between land, water, and atmosphere. I’m interested in the way color and texture can hold memory — not as a fixed image, but as a felt experience. The layered blues suggest depth, movement, and uncertainty, while the warmer yellows and oranges bring in light, renewal, and energy.
Rather than describing a specific place, the painting invites the viewer into an emotional landscape. It reflects the tension between stillness and change: the way storms pass, horizons dissolve, and light continues to return. Through scraping, layering, and gestural marks, I build a surface that feels both weathered and alive.
