Description: When I created Ember, I wanted to capture the feeling of warmth, energy, and movement—the way fire breathes and evolves, never staying the same. I built up layers of oil paint using a combination of bold, sweeping strokes and delicate, textured applications to give the piece a sense of depth and spontaneity. The fiery oranges and deep reds form the heart of the composition, radiating outward like glowing embers, while the golden yellows and soft greens provide balance, echoing the natural world.
As I worked, I allowed the paint to guide me, blending colors in some areas while leaving sharp, raw textures in others, much like how fire consumes and transforms. The subtle lavender and blue accents add an unexpected contrast, like the last traces of cool twilight against the heat. I see this painting as a moment of transition—energy on the edge of change, caught between destruction and renewal. It’s an expression of passion, intensity, and the quiet beauty found in movement and transformation.
