Original artwork description:

Painted directly onto raw, unprimed canvas, this work explores the fragile boundary between emergence and erasure. Charcoal marks rise vertically, forming a dense, almost geological structure—part landscape, part memory—built through repeated gestures and abrasion. The canvas absorbs the materials unevenly, allowing stains, softness, and accidental textures to remain visible and active.

Muted acrylic layers in whites and warm earthy tones partially veil the darker core, creating tension between concealment and exposure. The surface feels weathered, as if shaped by time rather than a single moment. A small turquoise circle and subtle geometric accents introduce a quiet counterpoint to the organic chaos, offering balance within the composition.

The painting resists a fixed narrative, suggesting an inner and outer landscape where gesture becomes a trace of presence rather than depiction.

It has painted sides, ready to hang.
Signed on the front. Ships in a box.

Materials used:

charcoal, acrylic
