Over

Painting
A body-scale oil painting exploring chromatic intensity, transformation, and the threshold where beauty becomes pressure.

“Over is a painting of too much: too much colour, too much feeling, too much force pressing toward release. Built through saturated colour, layered gesture, and bodily scale, the painting presses joy, longing, beauty, and strain into the same field. Its surface feels radiant but unstable, as if colour is carrying more energy than it can contain. Forms surge, dissolve, and reassemble through the image, creating a threshold between attraction and overwhelm, pleasure and pressure, release and collapse.”
