Untitled

This painting draws from traditional Asian cloud motifs, with engraved, flowing lines set against a textured gold-toned surface. The composition feels quiet and suspended, where the movement of the clouds is subtle rather than dramatic. The imagery sits close to the surface, as if lightly etched into something older—suggesting a decorative fragment that has been preserved and softened over time.

Built with acrylic, stucco, and charcoal, the surface is layered, sanded, and weathered to create a patinated, fresco-like texture. Areas of erosion and tonal variation break up the field, giving the piece the quality of a worn relic rather than a polished image. The work reflects an interest in stillness and restraint—how minimal forms and repeated marks can hold presence through texture and time.
