Love in the Ashes

This painting unfolds in layered textures where ash, limewash, and acrylic intersect to create a surface that feels both ancient and quietly luminous. Concentric traces at the centre resemble eroded rings or the remnants of something once glowing, now softened into pale turquoise, muted gold, and weathered earth tones. Fine cracks spread across the composition like a delicate map of time, while darker fragments embedded within the layers hint at what has been burned, transformed, or left behind.

The work carries an unexpected warmth. Gentle shifts of colour emerge from beneath the ashen textures, suggesting resilience and the faint echo of renewal. The result is an evocative balance between dissolution and tenderness, held within a 100 × 100 cm format. The canvas is 3 cm deep.
