About the art
Artist statement
This artwork presents a compelling exploration of texture and monochrome tonality. Dominated by vertical streaks, the piece evokes an intense sense of gravity, as if the dark pigments are in a perpetual state of descent. The top section exhibits a dense concentration of black, creating a stark contrast that commands attention. This density gradually dissipates as one’s gaze moves downward, transitioning into a subtler, intricate interplay of grey shades. The repetitive linear pattern suggests the deliberate hand of the artist, yet retains an organic fluidity reminiscent of rainfall or cascading hair. The simplicity in color palette enhances the complexity of the texture, inviting viewers to contemplate movement, depth, and the passage of time. This powerful visual narrative—minimalist yet profound—exemplifies masterful control over both medium and emotion, making it an intriguing study of abstraction and continuity.
