Contrasting Planes, Canvas

This bold abstract piece draws the viewer in with its strong contrasts and energetic brushstrokes. Created with only black and white paint, the image relies heavily on texture and form rather than color to convey emotion.

The upper left corner features broad, dark strokes that sweep diagonally across the canvas, gradually softening into lighter, more diffused white spaces. The texture of the brushwork suggests movement and energy, as though the paint was applied quickly and forcefully.

The jagged, uneven lines in the center of the canvas create a sense of tension, while the surrounding areas of white space offer balance and calm. The minimalism of the composition, combined with its raw, unpolished textures, evokes a sense of primal emotion and abstract expressionism.

Despite the simplicity of its palette, the canvas feels dynamic and full of life, as if capturing a moment of creation frozen in time.
