Original artwork description:

“Matter and Flow” captures the tension between the solidity of the human body and the uncontrollable vitality of color. The figure, depicted as if sculpted in marble, appears suspended against a dramatic background of flowing reds, yellows, and greens. Without a face or identity, the body becomes a universal symbol — both vulnerable and resilient.
The vibrant, almost molten background conveys energy, chaos, and transformation, suggesting the pressures of contemporary life and the fragile balance between permanence and dissolution. This work combines figurative presence and abstract energy, offering the viewer a powerful reflection on identity, vulnerability, and the overwhelming flow of today’s visual world.

Materials used:

acrylic on canvas
