Original artwork description:

The painting feels like standing between city and nature — blocks of fresh green colliding with darker traces, like light finding its way through an urban structure. DON’T EXPECT LIFE TO MAKE SENSE 23 is a contemporary abstract painting dominated by layered greens, contrasted with darker and more neutral tones. The composition combines bold areas of color with more fragmented, gestural passages, creating a dynamic tension between structure and spontaneity.

Different shades of green — from light, almost yellowish hues to deeper, saturated tones — overlap and interact, suggesting growth, resilience, and forward movement. Darker accents and graphic marks add depth and rhythm, giving the piece a distinctly modern, slightly urban feel. The result is an expressive abstract artwork that feels energetic, hopeful, and visually striking.

This work is part of the ongoing series "DON'T EXPECT LIFE TO MAKE SENSE". In this body of work, the artist explores the act of painting by intentionally using new tools and mixing colors in unconventional ways. It is a practice of letting go - allowing coincidences to happen and dealing with them, serving as a visual metaphor for life itself.

Ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking green abstract art, expressive contemporary paintings, or modern mixed-media works that bring freshness and energy into a space. With its strong presence and vibrant palette, DON’T EXPECT LIFE TO MAKE SENSE 23 makes a compelling statement in minimalist, industrial, or design-led interiors.
