VANTA

Working in layered acrylic on large-format canvas, each painting begins with thin, vibrant fields of pigment drawn across the surface in wide, deliberate strokes. Layers accumulate. The weave of the canvas disappears — replaced by something that reads less as paint and more as atmosphere.

Each canvas is finished with a heavy gloss varnish, deepening the sense of looking into the surface rather than at it. Under certain light the works stop reading as painted objects entirely. They seem lit from within.

Three series — First Light, Horizon, Afterglow — trace an arc of luminosity: its arrival, its crossing, and what remains after it has gone.
