Chasing Shadows

Chasing Shadows (2020)
“Beauty often lies in the friction between peace and chaos. It is a landscape that invites you to rest your eyes, while the surface itself tells a story of a struggle that never truly ends.”

* The Architecture of Dualism: This 130 x 120 cm contemporary abstract painting is a profound study in emotional contradiction. It presents a scene where a tranquil, monochromatic palette of misty greys and soft ambers suggests a moment of absolute stillness. However, beneath this calm veneer lies an "aggressive" topography; the canvas is defined by deep scratches, raw textures, and visceral markings that disrupt the silence, creating a powerful dualism between visual peace and tactile unrest.

* The Musical Cipher: The title Chasing Shadows is a central coordinate in my "sonic diary." It references a track that balances a melodic, ambient foundation with sharp, glitchy distortions—a perfect auditory mirror to the painting’s own conflict. I invite the collector to find the "broken" frequency within these silver glazes; only when the music’s haunting, repetitive piano meets the frantic, scratched rhythms of the paint is the true, restless soul of this work unlocked.

* The Scratched Horizon: Executed on premium canvas, the work thrives on the physical act of creation. Using unconventional DIY tools—from steel wool to sharp metal scrapers—I intentionally "wounded" the surface to reveal the layers beneath. This abstract landscape does not offer an easy escape; instead, it demands engagement. It brings a sophisticated, brooding energy to a modern interior, serving as a reminder that even in our quietest moments, the shadows of our experiences are always in pursuit.
