"This piece, rendered in oil on a plexiglass ground against a black backdrop, embodies a play on illumination and color with abstraction on the brink of representation. The forms are layered in thick, deliberate brushstrokes, with each stroke carrying a unique hue—ranging from muted pastels to deeper, earthy tones—creating a composition that hints at structure without fully surrendering to it. The elements seem almost anthropomorphic, evoking fragmented gestures or figures, yet remain elusive, resisting any fixed identity. This "almost representational" quality is a defining feature, drawing the viewer to search for meaning within an ambiguous form. The transparency of the plexiglass contrasts with the opaque richness of the paint and the black behind it, allowing the background to intensify the negative space around each shape. The work suggests a process of emergence, as if a figure or an object is attempting to coalesce from a state of abstraction, yet remains unresolved, existing in a in between space where recognition hovers just out of reach. This deliberate ambiguity invites the viewer into an active engagement with the piece, questioning the nature of form and perception, and challenging the mind to find coherence in what resists categorization. In this tension between the defined and the indeterminate, the piece captures a moment of becoming—a perpetual state of potentiality, suspended between abstraction and the familiar."
