Original artwork description:

This painting came from working instinctively and allowing movement to lead the process rather than an idea or outcome. I was interested in contrast from the start, how red behaves against white, how black interrupts rather than frames, and how each gesture changes the mood of what comes next.

The red carries a strong physical presence, moving across the surface with urgency and release, while the black marks arrive almost as decisions rather than decoration. They cut, connect, and sometimes disrupt the flow, stopping the painting from settling too quickly. I like that tension, where nothing feels too resolved and the surface stays active.

White space plays an equally important role here. It gives the gestures room to breathe and prevents the energy from becoming heavy. I see the lighter areas not as absence, but as pauses, allowing the eye to move freely and return to the stronger moments without feeling directed.

I work in layers, responding to what is already there, adjusting pressure, speed, and rhythm as the painting develops. Some marks remain bold and immediate, while others soften or pull back, creating depth through contrast rather than complexity. That balance is what gives the painting its sense of movement without chaos.

This piece is meant to be lived with rather than analysed. The experience changes depending on distance, light, and time spent with it, revealing small relationships between marks that are easy to miss at first glance. It suits a space where art is chosen for feeling and presence, not trend or decoration.

Painted on canvas with finished edges and ready to hang, signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this is a one of a kind original artwork.
