Mirroring

Gouache on paper

I'm interested in light as it moves through air - how atmosphere transforms what we see, how color creates emotional resonance, how simplification can reveal rather than obscure. The central luminous passage draws the viewer inward, creating spatial ambiguity: are we looking at reflection or reality? Moving toward light or deeper into mystery?

Working in the tradition of Tonalist painters but with contemporary sensibilities, I use layered transparencies and subtle color shifts to evoke the experience of being immersed in atmospheric conditions.
