Original artwork description:

“Not Give Up” is an original abstract painting that embodies persistence, transformation, and creative exploration. This large contemporary canvas was developed over an extended period with the composition evolving through layers of color, texture, and intuitive mark-making. The result is a richly dynamic piece where bold hues—deep crimson, golden yellow, earthy browns, and calming sage green—interact in a visually striking balance.

Intricate textures, gestural lines, and layered forms suggest both chaos and harmony, capturing the emotional and physical process of pushing through artistic uncertainty. The title Not Give Up reflects the journey of refining and reshaping the piece until its final form emerged—an expression of resilience and creative perseverance.

Ideal for modern interiors or art collectors seeking bold, expressive work, this painting brings energy, depth and a story of determination to any space.
