This painting on fine card stock with mixed media intervention is a masterclass in balancing abstraction, illusion, and symbolic geometry. The surface feels simultaneously spontaneous and intentional — a wrinkled visual field animated by precision marks, translucent overlays, and painterly gestures. A bold red circle and a rectilinear form establish a visual dialogue: sun and structure, emotion and reason, presence and absence.

The spatial layering is quietly deceptive. Behind the seeming simplicity is a rich architecture of space: hovering shadows, subtle gradients, and spatial cues that unsettle the flatness of the paper. Diagonal blue dashes and gestural arcs push and pull the eye, disrupting linear perspective and guiding the viewer into a more psychological reading of space.

Color here acts as both beacon and boundary — with warm washes of yellow and blush giving way to moments of saturated red, cool green, and sculptural white. The mixed media elements—appearing like stitched or built fragments—extend the image into low relief, challenging where the painting ends and objecthood begins.

This piece asks us to consider how constructed and fragile perception really is. It is an invitation to witness the act of seeing itself — unraveled, rebuilt, and transformed.
