Original artwork description:

"LOST PLACES 2" is an imposing mid-sized to large original abstract painting that explores the evocative subject of abandoned and deserted locations, the poetry of decay. The vertical composition captures the complex duality of these sites: the visible decay and degeneration of civilization contrasted with their mysterious and hidden appeal.

The artwork features a moody, nuanced palette dominated by rich grays, deep charcoal, and earthy, muted tones, accented by stark crispy white and and off-white and a few subtle fragments of red. The surface is heavily textured, achieved through mixed media techniques that build up and tear away, suggesting the layers of history and neglect found in these "lost places."

The composition expertly balances the "lefts of civilisation" – incorporating structured forms and hints of industrial decay – with an overall sense of melancholic beauty. The painting serves as a window into these secret spaces, appealing to collectors who appreciate urban decay themes translated into powerful, emotive abstraction. This piece is a compelling statement on time, transience, and the aesthetic of abandonment.
