Acrylic on wood panel, framed. Finished with a layer of coldwax medium, buffed to a shine.
A richly layered piece where olive greens and bruised plums meet ghostly shapes and scattered markings. There’s tension here — between concealment and revelation, between control and chaos. A rounded form near the centre, unintentionally reminiscent of a pill bottle cap, anchors the composition in quiet symbolism. It might read as playful at first glance, but this one holds a heaviness beneath the surface.
This is the kind of painting that doesn’t shout — it simmers. For those who know what it means to endure and to emerge, not untouched, but changed.
