Acrylic on timber board
150 Ă— 105cm
Civies, 2026 marks a deliberate shift away from rigid geometry toward an embrace of looseness and impulse. This piece surrenders to gesture, texture and the accidental beauty of paint allowed to find its own path. The palette—soft greens and blues softened by ochre and anchored with a warm terracotta red—creates a quietly energetic field: cool tones suggest air and distance, ochre brings earthen warmth, and the terracotta punctuates the composition with grounded intensity.
Shapes that once marched in regimented order now tumble into one another, suggesting movement, memory and the human tendency to let control give way. The result is both playful; an exploration of how structure loosens into sensation, how colour and touch can carry meaning without strict form.
