Incendio is an exploration of energy at its most elemental. Working in a restricted palette of reds and oranges, I sought to evoke the dual nature of fire — its capacity for destruction and renewal, its danger and allure. The vertical white lines act as fissures or channels, disrupting the field of colour like sudden cracks in the surface of heat, while the gestural marks push against containment, asserting their own intensity.
The work arises from my ongoing interest in abstraction as a site where emotion and sensation converge. I am less concerned with representation than with the raw immediacy of experience: how color can vibrate in the eye, how rhythm can suggest turbulence, and how a surface can hold the trace of both control and release.
While Incendio suggests the burning landscape, it is equally a metaphor for the inner terrain — states of passion, rupture, and transformation. In its physicality and boldness, the work reflects my belief that painting should not merely depict but embody intensity.
