This painting whispers autumn’s secrets in an atomic display. At first glance, it appears just abstract, but look closer—tree trunks and branches emerge. Aspen leaves burst forth like tiny supernovae, each cell a micro explosion of texture and color all its own. Eschewing brushes, the artist used high-pressure air to let the paint scatter like subatomic particles. Patterns form akin to atoms and nuclei, reminiscent of cellular blueprints, hinting at nature’s most fundamental architecture. Immerse yourself in the yellows, float through the golds, touch the red lichen of the tree trunk. Imagine yourself parting these leaves and stepping into this dense forest, where the lines blur between the microscopic and the grand.
