Original artwork description:

When I started Rhythm In Red, I did not have a fixed outcome in mind. I was responding to movement, to pace, and to the way certain marks wanted to sit beside each other rather than control them. The red came early and stayed present throughout the process, shifting in weight and direction as the painting evolved.

I work instinctively, allowing each gesture to suggest the next. Some marks are confident and direct, while others slow things down, creating moments where the surface can breathe. The lighter areas are as important to me as the more assertive strokes, because they give the painting its sense of balance and space.

The black lines were added later, almost as interruptions. They change the rhythm, introduce tension, and stop the eye from settling too quickly. I like it when a painting holds your attention quietly, without needing to explain itself or resolve into something obvious.

At 110 x 110 cm, this piece has a strong presence on the wall, but it does not overwhelm a room. It sits with you, becomes familiar, and gradually reveals subtle relationships between movement, colour, and space, the longer you live with it.

This is not a painting about making a statement. It is about living with energy, colour, and motion in a way that feels natural and honest. I see it working best in a space where art is chosen for feeling rather than trend, and where it can be returned to again and again.

Painted on canvas with finished edges and ready to hang, signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, Rhythm In Red is a one of a kind original work created to be lived with, every day.
