OIL, ACRYLIC, SPRAY PAINT, WAX & OIL STICK ON CANVAS I FRAMED IN TIMBER I 78 X 78CM

This painting explores tension between memory and change. Two cars, one overturned atop the other, act as a metaphor for the past clinging to the present. Layers of painted, drawn, and scratched lines and imagery reveal memory’s complexity - often hidden, yet present. Warm hues evoke nostalgia, while symbols of engines, organic forms, a fragmented figure, and fire highlight the interplay between mechanical detachment and emotional connection.
