THE LIGHT PERSISTS (2026)

This abstract painting unfolds through a vibrant confrontation between light and matter, openness and confinement, impulse and resistance. Luminous blues and milky whites move through the vertical composition like fragile breaths, while ochres, burnt earth tones, and fiery oranges establish a denser, almost elemental presence. Irregular, incisive dark lines fracture the surfaces, evoking traces of a memory that refuses to disappear. The generous, tactile texture gives the painting a physical intensity that contrasts with the delicacy of its luminous passages. The vertical format heightens the work’s inner tension. The eye moves between dark masses, flashes of colour, and nearly immaterial expanses of white, never finding complete rest. Light does not triumph over darkness; it coexists with it, seeps into it, and resists it. This instability is the source of the painting’s strength: a silent struggle in which fragility becomes power and light emerges as the possibility of renewal.
