"Shift of Currents"
canvas, original technique, 50x70cm
2025

Color masses collide and flow into one another, forming a dense, continuously shifting body. Deep blues and dark areas pull the composition downward, creating a sense of weight and depth, while red and yellow bursts disrupt that inertia, pushing the movement outward. Within this interwoven structure, there are no clear boundaries — forms melt, appearing and dissolving within the same gesture.

The light background does not contain the composition but exposes the process. It reveals how the paint behaves like a living substance — spreading, gathering into clusters, and breaking apart again. In places, the movement becomes turbulent, with twisting lines forming tense knots where energy concentrates before dispersing.

The work exists in constant displacement — no area settles into a fixed state. Balance here is temporary, almost accidental, like equilibrium within motion. It is not a composition in the traditional sense, but a flow that keeps the eye moving, following a logic that never fully resolves.
