Concept & Composition . . .
This triptych explores the intersection of organic, untamed landscapes and rigid architectural geometry. By fracturing a continuous, textured painting into modular grids of arches, circles, and soft-edged rectangles, the work creates a rhythmic visual flow across all three panels. The crisp white negative space acts as structural mortar, holding the shifting geological forms in balanced tension.
Convergence — Bringing a fragment of deep shadow up into the sky tier, the final piece disrupts the strict horizontal gradient, creating dynamic movement and visual closure for the series.
Equilibrium — Featuring a central cluster of warm, glowing sands and a bold terracotta focal point, the middle panel balances weight and lightness through mirrored curves.
Ascent — Anchored by heavy, dark earth tones at the base and crowned with a sweeping expanse of pale sky, this piece establishes a grounded, upward visual lift.
Color & Texture
Moving vertically from cool, airy sky blues at the crown through sun-baked ochre, burnt sienna, and deep umber at the base, the palette mirrors the natural stratification of desert cliffs and arid horizons. Up close, rich impasto brushwork and tactile surface ridges contrast against the clean, modern precision of the geometric cutouts—inviting the viewer to experience a fragmented landscape through an architectural lens.
