It’s My Turn, 36×48, 2024
In this 36 by 48 inch acrylic on canvas, a broad field of deep teal and cerulean fills the upper two thirds of the composition in wide, sweeping arcs, establishing a dominant cool ground. Against it, red moves upward from the lower right with directional force, and yellow answers from the lower left with equal velocity. Visible splatters of both colours read as evidence of speed and conviction. Darker green marks cut between them, more linear and restrained. The warm colours occupy only the lower third of the surface, yet they command the eye immediately and hold it. The work evokes a formal tension between scale and insistence, suggesting that presence is not a matter of proportion but of resolve. It suits collectors drawn to gestural abstraction with strong chromatic contrast.
From the Wild collection, 2024. Featured on AATONU.
From the artist's journal:
"After everything I have given to everyone else. After the well inside me feels completely dry. After I am numb from solving all the problems big and small. It is enough. It is my turn to be held and supported and guided and loved and spoiled and adored. It is my turn to want for nothing, to rest, to feel peace. I am the only one who can make the demand. Who can look myself in the mirror and say enough, you deserve so much more. I am the only one who can give it to me. It is my turn to pour my energy inward, to fill my cup to overflow, to be gentle and gracious with my heart. It is my turn."
