Rust and Light

This work explores the tension between erosion and illumination.

Built on a textured surface, the painting develops through layered applications of pigment — allowing color to emerge through color rather than sit on top of it. Rust tones, deep blacks, and muted ivory dissolve into each other, forming a slow, internal movement instead of a defined composition.

The light in this piece is not painted directly; it appears as a residue between layers, revealing itself depending on viewing distance and ambient light.

The surface carries irregularities and marks that reference time, material decay, and memory — giving the work a grounded, almost mineral presence.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork.
