Observations
These abstract paintings combine saturated blocks of red, blue, yellow, green, and white with vigorous, visibly built-up brushwork. Broad gestures, scraped and dragged pigment, thin scratched marks, and occasional drips create an expressive tension between geometric structure and raw painterly surface.
