Recharge
Sand and acrylic on canvas, 60 cm (w) x 90 cm (h) x 4 cm (d)
This painting depicts two figures intricately wrapped around one another in a deeply entwined, almost elemental embrace. Set within darkness, the composition is animated by a bright central glow that appears molten, lava-like, and alive with energy, illuminating the earthy texture of the surface. The circular form created by the figures gives the work a powerful sense of unity, grounding, and radiating field-like presence.
