About the artwork

This painting is like an abstracted rainbow that has abandoned its fixed arch shape and disintegrated into a flowing carpet of shimmering fragments. Each element resembles a polished, rough stone - a mosaic of irregular shapes, carefully positioned as if nature itself had laid them out after centuries of flowing water, wind and colour.

The composition moves from top to bottom through a sensory journey of colour. It begins with fiery orange tones, sunlit reds and shades of molten copper that together evoke a sense of warmth and movement, as if walking through an autumn landscape during a golden sunset. As the eye descends, the palette slowly transforms: through shades of yellow and ochre, we slide into olive green, forest green, then deeper into ocean blue, indigo and finally the deepest night blue-a visual journey from day to night, from fire to water, from extrovert to introspective.

The texture is tactile, almost sculptural. Each shape has its own skin-some smooth and shiny like glass, others rough as weathered stone. Together, they create a rhythmic whole that feels at once organic and geometric. The work lives, breathes, even sings - not loudly, but like a gentle melody of colour, shape and memory.

It evokes images of river stones, clay tablets, archaeological finds or even emotional fragments of human existence - colour as a code language of feeling. The painting does not feel contrived, but found. Like something that has always existed but has only now become visible.
