Forest Oracle
This striking mixed media painting on wood merges figuration and abstraction in a dramatic vertical composition. A spectral bearded figure seems to emerge from layered greens, blues, and deep blacks, while bold red accents and fluid drips heighten its expressive force. The surface feels raw, intuitive, and emotionally charged, inviting prolonged looking.
