Flames

Fire does not apologise for what it consumes. It transforms. It clears. And from what remains, something new becomes possible — stronger, perhaps, for having been through the heat.

This mixed media abstraction does not depict fire so much as embody it. Layered techniques and richly tactile surfaces build up depth and movement across the board — raw energy made physical, warmth you can almost feel when you stand close. There is nothing decorative about it. It is elemental. Honest. The kind of work that holds its own in a room and reminds you that renewal rarely comes gently.

A compact yet commanding piece, ready to hang and impossible to ignore.
