Style & Reminiscence

Echoes of the technique and emotional depth resonate with the works of J.M.W. Turner, renowned for his expressive portrayals of light and atmosphere. The abstract forms recall elements of Mark Rothko’s exploration of color as emotion. Furthermore, the dream-like surrealism aligns with elements often found in Salvador Dalí’s works, where reality is bent and reshaped to evoke deeper emotional responses.

This blend of abstraction and emotion places the artwork within a context of exploration and introspection, inviting viewers to reflect on the harmony and chaos inherent in the natural world.
