Piece description from the artist
Earthen Forms and Rhythms invites you into a world where texture and shape converse in muted tones of beige, brown, and soft gray. The composition feels both deliberate and spontaneous, as rough, textured brushstrokes mingle with delicate drips to build a layered landscape of geometric forms. At its heart lies an irregular, rounded shape—organic and stone-like—that anchors the piece with vertical and horizontal lines slicing through its surface. Around it, rectangular and linear elements provide a quiet structure, creating balance without rigidity. The edges taper off gently, as if weathered by time, lending the work an atmospheric quality that feels worn yet alive. Grounded in earthy hues and tactile layers, this artwork captures the subtle rhythm of nature’s textures, inviting close observation and a moment of thoughtful calm.
