The Emotional Steps

This painting is a meditation on contrast as a metaphor for inner tension—light and dark as opposing forces that shape the emotional landscape of the self. The composition resists stillness; its layered abstraction suggests an evolving terrain of thought, memory, and instinct. Deep blacks ground the work like unresolved questions, while fleeting whites and muted purples flicker through, hinting at clarity or revelation just out of reach.

Rather than depict a fixed scene, this piece operates as a visual inquiry—inviting the viewer not to interpret, but to experience the raw interplay of emotion and perception. The painting doesn’t offer answers; instead, it asks: What do we hold onto when the form disappears, and all that’s left is feeling?
