Piece description from the artist
Slow Burn explores the power in things that take their time, capturing the steady and unstoppable momentum of a quiet fire. The composition is built on deep, architectural sweeps of Raw Umber that frame a vast, open center, creating a sense of breath and monumental scale. This grounded structure is punctuated by deliberate, intense strikes of burnt orange and bright orange-yellow that glow against the neutral background, suggesting a heat that reveals itself slowly. By balancing these heavy horizontal marks with delicate, wandering lines and fine atmospheric splatters, the piece becomes a study in patience and dramatic warmth.
