About this artwork

This captivating artwork is a striking display of abstract expressionism, featuring a vibrant interplay of colors and textures. At its core, the painting showcases an amorphous, organic shape that appears to float against a deep, enigmatic backdrop. The use of bold, electrifying hues—predominantly green and fiery orange—creates a dynamic contrast that draws the viewer's eye immediately toward the center of the composition. The artist has masterfully blended these vivid colors, allowing them to swirl and merge seamlessly, evoking the ethereal qualities of an otherworldly entity or a celestial body. The texture within the central form is richly layered, suggesting a sense of depth and movement, as if the object is pulsating with life. This textural complexity invites viewers to explore its surface, offering a tactile sense of dimension even within the two-dimensional plane. The dark background serves as a perfect foil, enhancing the luminescence of the central form and adding a mysterious, infinite quality to the artwork. The subtle gradations within the dark tones create a sense of space, allowing the vibrant mass to appear as if it is suspended in a void, both isolated and commanding. This artwork's unique aspects lie in its bold use of color, its abstraction that challenges conventional forms, and its powerful evocation of an unknown realm. The piece is assertive and unapologetically dynamic, embodying a transient moment captured in an explosion of color and form. It captivates with its bold simplicity and deep complexity, inviting viewers into a mesmerizing visual experience. Glows under black light.

About the artist

I have come to a realization about myself and my art. I am impatient and I have need for instant gratification. I get frustrated with time consuming traditional techniques and want to skip ahead to the end. It is for these reasons that I am a series artist. I like to experiment with new ideas until I am satisfied with the result then I move on to a new one. Sometimes the result can lead the next series. The inspiration for a lot my work is in the trying of the new techniques. Having freedom of expression and not being limited to one style of making art are paramount to my identity as an artist.
