Not For Sale
an abstract representation inspired by Robert Frost's timeless poem "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening ”
This piece captures the chilling yet serene beauty of a winter's eve with elegance and depth. Numerous black and white vertical lines run down the canvas, suggesting the stillness and tranquillity of a birch forest filled with snow while small squares and rectangular blocks in a variety of colors—reds, yellows, blues, oranges, and gold’s, creates vibrancy and dynamics. The background showcases a blend of metallic gold and ultramarine blue, conjuring the last rays of sunlight piercing through the winter’s dusk.
My canvases are attempts to create poetic narratives with kinetic energy. They are conceptual in that I collage my landscapes using line as pixilation, textures, Glass tile and metal foils, in unconventional ways, to convey moments and subtle movements in nature. Not necessarily as nature appears but as nature feels: unspoken, indescribable and sometimes chaotic.

In their own way, these works celebrate nature’s unbounded spaces by framing its geometries, linear progressions and algorithms. By refining the basic elements of line, color and texture from the west coast landscapes around me, I pair nature’s complexities down to an appreciable moment of sublime wordless understanding.
""My intent is to capture the pondering presence we get from nature, not as it appears but as it feels to experience: incomprehensible, indescribable, and often very chaotic.""
