The Now is an exploration of presence : of what exists only in this moment, before it becomes memory or anticipation. Through layered fields of color, textured surfaces, and deliberate interruptions of line and form, the work reflects the tension between structure and spontaneity. Dark, grounded tones anchor the composition, while vivid accents and punctuations of light suggest moments of awareness breaking through stillness. The vertical gestures act as markers of time : fleeting, imperfect, and irreversible : while the grid-like divisions echo the human impulse to organize experience. Yet nothing here is fully contained. Edges bleed, surfaces shift, and balance remains unresolved, mirroring the instability and beauty of existing fully in the present. The Now invites the viewer to pause, to sit with uncertainty, and to encounter the quiet intensity of being here, without past, without future, just this.
