Imo


Imo

B.H. Daniel

A swirl of liquid grays dances across the canvas, like a sea agitated by unseen winds. In the middle, a ghostly figure looms, always on the verge of vanishing, but impossible to truly erase. Its body is made up of shadows and light, of movement and stagnation, of what was and what could be.

Vibrant yellow spots cover the figure in the center of the composition, reminding us of the ephemerality of each moment of brilliance. Like glimmers of a distant sun, they are echoes of immortality, of the desire to remain, even when time passes in an instant.

The texture specific to abstract expressionism adds drama – rough strokes and fluid lines, sometimes dissipated, sometimes violent, give the work a duality: an inner turmoil caught in a frame that seems still. It is chaos and order, flight and stagnation.

Imo it is not just a work of art, but a state, an unanswered question: What remains of us when everything falls apart?
