Between Walls
and Water

Oil on artist’s oil paper · palette knife only · A4

Between Walls and Water moves through constriction, endurance and drift. Layered structures, submerged city-light and softened reflections appear and dissolve as if the mind were mapping escape routes through a changing urban world. Yellow light recurs as a signal: hope persisting when the way out is blocked, flooded or blurred.

Abstract oil painting Out-of-Focus Dreams
01

Out-of-Focus Dreams

Reflections drift, soften and double back. Some forms almost arrive; others fade mid-thought—an afterimage of a dream that will not hold its shape.

Abstract oil painting Efforts Behind the Wall
02

Efforts Behind the Wall

A compressed space of planes and partitions, like a city seen from within. Shapes press forward and meet resistance; persistence becomes the rhythm of the surface.

Abstract oil painting Submerged City
03

Submerged City

A city seems to sink below the surface, quieter but not extinguished. Yellow lights remain as signals of life behind the weight of water and shadow.
