Ember and Midnight
A bold mixed media painting on canvas built around the charged encounter of blazing orange and deep blue-black forms. Dripped white lines, smoky gray gestures, and layered mark-making create a restless contemporary composition with strong movement, contrast, and emotional intensity.
