The On The Surface collection explores themes of structural abstraction, tactical topography, and liquid velocity. Executed between 2024 and 2026, this curated body of original canvases utilizes complex layers of oil and experimental mixed media. Throughout the series, the surface boundary is investigated not just as a landing pad for pigment, but as a live, architectural setting where stress, fissure, and biological harmony seamlessly merge. Each piece exemplifies an expansive handling of color fields, punctuated by dense textural fissures and dynamic, gestural movement.
