Genesis
16 × 12. Acrylic on canvas. Unframed
This painting is a dramatic, abstract piece that exudes intensity through its bold, textured brushstrokes and a fiery, earthy colour palette. The composition is dense and chaotic, with a multitude of overlapping strokes creating a sense of depth and movement. The colour palette includes deep blacks, rich reds, oranges, and browns, with whites adding contrast and a sense of light within the tumultuous arrangement.
The brushstrokes are thick and heavily applied with a palette knife, giving the painting a textured, almost three-dimensional quality. The strokes vary in direction—some are vertical, others diagonal or horizontal—creating a rhythmic flow across the canvas. The reds and oranges dominate, creating a warm, fiery effect that evokes a sense of heat, passion, or destruction, while the blacks add a grounding contrast, creating depth and shadow. The white strokes are scattered throughout, acting as highlights that bring a sense of light and space to the dense composition.
The overall effect is one of raw energy, with the painting evoking a sense of a rugged landscape, a forest fire, or an emotional outburst. The textured brushstrokes and fiery colours suggest a natural or primal force—perhaps a volcanic eruption, a blazing inferno, or an abstract representation of inner turmoil. The abstract nature of the work allows for a wide range of interpretations, inviting the viewer to project their own emotions and experiences onto the canvas.
The painting’s bold colours and textured surface make it a visually striking piece, encouraging the viewer to explore its layers and feel the emotional weight of its abstract forms. It’s a powerful example of abstract expressionism, capturing a sense of intensity and raw creativity through its chaotic, textured composition.
