Elemental Surge 01

Description

This powerful abstract artwork radiates energy, movement, and
transformation, blending raw texture with vibrant colour contrasts to evoke
the untamed forces of nature.
The composition centres on a surge of molten orange and rust tones,
colliding with dark graphite blacks, silvery whites, and flashes of brilliant
yellow. The interplay of these hues creates an impression of heat, light, and
depth — like a volcanic eruption, a celestial storm, or the elemental clash of
fire and smoke. Layers of pigment appear scraped, brushed, and
splattered, revealing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas.
Subtle swirling marks and incised lines add rhythm and structure amid the
chaos, suggesting a sense of motion frozen in time. Areas of luminosity —
especially where white and metallic silver emerge through the surface —
offer a counterbalance to the dense, earthy palette, creating moments of
stillness within the turbulence.
The overall effect is both visceral and meditative, capturing a moment of
creation, destruction, and renewal. It invites viewers to interpret the work
not as a static image, but as a living force — an “elemental surge” that
speaks to energy in its purest form.
