Original artwork description
Burnt Waters begins with a landscape rather than abstraction: the memory of a misty morning in the forest, when trees, fog and distant light merge and the familiar structure of the landscape almost disappears.
The painting belongs to my ongoing series of abstract landscapes, in which I reduce real places and remembered moments to their essential elements: colour, light, texture and rhythm. The method originated from a simple experiment — taking a very narrow fragment of a landscape image and stretching it across the entire canvas. What remains is somewhere between representation and pure abstraction: traces of sky, forest, water or ground transformed into fields of colour.
In Burnt Waters, layers of deep blue and turquoise descend into a luminous band of mist, while the dark, earthy foreground anchors the composition. The vertical marks suggest trees dissolving in fog, rain on a window, or reflections disturbed on the surface of water. Nothing is described literally. The landscape is deliberately incomplete, leaving space for the viewer's own memory.
The surface is built through numerous layers of acrylic paint, repeatedly applied, scraped and partially removed. Earlier colours remain hidden beneath the surface and reappear through scratches and irregularities, creating a highly textured abstract painting that changes with distance and light.
Music is another layer of the series. My titles are connected to songs that accompanied particular moments, journeys or periods of painting. They form a kind of musical diary — a private cipher connecting sound, place and memory.
Burnt Waters is therefore not simply a blue abstract painting, but a landscape reduced to what remains after the details have disappeared: atmosphere, colour and memory.
