Ascend (175x140 cm)

"Ascend" is a bold abstract work that takes center stage on a 175x140 cm canvas, using thick black paint applied on a warm white cotton background. The painting captures a sense of upward momentum, a striving movement conveyed through expressive strokes and dynamic forms. The black paint is laid down with intensity and conviction, creating abstract shapes that seem to reach skyward, suggesting a journey of elevation and transcendence.

The energy of the brushstrokes is palpable, with each line and curve contributing to the overall sense of progression and growth. The abstract forms feel deliberate yet spontaneous, embodying a tension between control and freedom that adds depth to the work. The contrast between the dense black pigment and the lightness of the white canvas serves to heighten the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer’s gaze upward, following the implied trajectory of the forms.

"Ascend" is a visual metaphor for aspiration and resilience. The interplay of light and dark, form and negative space, reflects the complexities of striving towards something greater. It is a powerful statement piece, inviting viewers to explore the beauty of movement and the strength required to rise. The work captures both the physical act of creation and the emotional essence of reaching for something beyond, making it an evocative addition to any collection that values abstract expression and depth of feeling.
