Gravity of Color
A bold mixed media painting on canvas built through layered drips, thick impasto, sprayed marks, and gestural sweeps. Its vertical composition balances airy negative space with dense passages of texture, creating a raw contemporary energy that feels both instinctive and architectonic.
