Artwork Description

Poetry - 2025

152.4 x 76.2 cm

The foundation of this work began with an underpainting in acrylic ink, spray paint and Rublev pigment mixed with acrylic binder. Once the first vision was expressed on canvas, I repainted over it with pigments enriched by lead white and layers of oil paint, allowing depth and luminosity to emerge. Beyond its surface, Poetry reflects our inner landscapes — the dreams of a happy life, the secret wish lists we hold close, and the hopes we strive and pray for. Through its layered process, the work mirrors the layered nature of our aspirations: concealed, evolving, and ultimately revealed in art.
