Artist Statement
This abstract artwork embodies the emotional clash of defiance and submission through swirling color patterns that connect and collide. The dominant use of deep carbon black aligns with the theme of refusal and strong presence, while softer steel gray and warm white form contrasting spaces of gentle retreat. The palette evokes a sense of struggle between sharp interruptions (the crimson accents) and subdued areas that represent submission. The layout suggests a spiral movement, emphasizing the inward pressure toward a quiet center, illustrating the push and pull between the dense vs empty spaces. Each color and placement resonates with a narrative of emotional conflict and contrasting intentions, drawing the eye toward the center where tensions converge.
