Observations
Across the sheet, recognizable people and interiors dissolve into dense, aggressively worked paint, with broad directional strokes, scraping, drips, and partially obscured forms. Deep greens, blacks, browns, and reds create a heavy, high-contrast atmosphere, while fragmented faces and unstable spatial details give the scenes a surreal, emotionally charged quality.
