The Fly
Acrylic on canvas 5'3" x 31.5" 2024 (Frame not included)
An accident suspended in time. A story cracked open.
The Fly captures the precise moment when fragility gives way—not to chaos, but to revelation. A shattered porcelain vase, impossibly suspended, bears within it entire pastoral worlds, like memories embedded in matter. At its core, a lone fly rests—a quiet witness, or perhaps the cause.
Set against a background of brocade shadows and theatrical reds, the object becomes both relic and metaphor. This is not still life; it is still tension.
The high-contrast varnish intensifies every fissure and reflection, drawing the viewer into its intricate fracture lines and surreal impossibilities.
A work that invites contemplation. Not of what has broken, but of what is quietly enduring.
Please note: Photos may exhibit glare due to the glossy varnish finish.
