"Field of Flash"
canvas, original technique, 50х60cm
2022

Space in this work does not appear whole — it is undergoing impact, flash, a sudden displacement after which air, matter, and light can no longer return to their former balance. Red diagonal currents break in from the left like a hard impulse, almost like an eruption of energy, while white foaming forms fracture the surface into zones of inner tension. Deep blues, blacks, and dark greens preserve a sense of depth, yet this depth is not calm: it feels torn from within and still trembling from collision. The eye moves between dense dark areas and sharp ruptures of light as if across a map of an unstable field where every trace is already tied to consequence.

What matters to me most here is not the effect of explosion itself, but the condition that follows it — the moment when chaos has not yet dispersed and a new form is only beginning to gather from shattered movement. The work is held by the conflict between speed and viscosity, between eruption and the resistance of space. That is why it feels not like an abstract gesture, but like the experience of a force passing through an environment and altering its structure.
