DEMON (2022)

DEMON Mixed media — acrylic and gold glitter on canvas Fire does not destroy. It reveals. In *Demon*, the paint flows, swirls, and rises like a living creature torn from the depths. Burning reds, incandescent yellows, and absolute black intertwine in a chaotic and hypnotic dance of flames that consume nothing but transform everything they touch. Black and white filaments crisscross the composition like claws, wings, vertebrae—fragments of an impossible anatomy. One thinks one sees a silhouette, a breath, a presence. Then the paint closes in on itself, and the form vanishes. The demon is never where you look for it. The golden glitter scattered across the black edges reminds us that even darkness can shine, that chaos carries within it its own beauty—wild and uncontrollable. “Demon” does not represent evil. It represents the raw power of that which refuses to be tamed.
