Original artwork description:

"Essence, Lo" is an atmospheric color field painting created on raw canvas, where luminous washes of blue, lavender, and golden ochre flow together in a serene yet dynamic exchange. Broad, liquid stains evoke a sense of movement—like drifting clouds, rising mist, or the fading edge of daylight. Soft transitions and layered gesture suggest the elusive nature of feeling and memory, celebrating the subtle interplay between transparency and depth. The painting invites viewers to immerse themselves in its tranquil expanse, experiencing a moment where boundaries blur and essence prevails.
"The very essence of romance is uncertainty"
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays
