Each series is an inquiry into a different quality of energy — oceanic, vital, transient, primal, celestial.

Ecstasy 0

Ecstasy

Painted to Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy, this earliest series calls vibrant color up out of black: old energy returning to the earth as fresh light enters from above. Light contains the dark within the negative space — chaos transformed into harmonic form.
