Oil on canvas

"Love" (2022) is an oil painting that blends realism with abstract expressionism to depict a vibrant urban scene. The composition centers on stacked shipping containers painted in bold reds, oranges, and other muted tones, embellished with graffiti, including the word "LOVE" prominently displayed. Above, distant buildings and greenery peek through, while below, the abstract reflection transforms the scene into a vivid blend of dynamic brushstrokes and vibrant colors, including reds, blues, and purples. The painting captures the interplay between the structured, industrial environment and the emotive, fluid nature of its mirrored abstraction. It invites viewers to reflect on the juxtaposition of order and chaos, permanence and transience, and the unexpected beauty of urban life.
