This body of work emerged from a desire to expand the visual language that developed through my 365 Squares project into larger formats and a broader exploration of color, atmosphere, and scale.
Working with watercolor and gouache on virgin wood, I approached these paintings as open-ended explorations of energy, movement, and landscape. The natural grain of the wood became an active participant in the process, influencing direction, rhythm, and composition while revealing unexpected relationships between the painted surface and the material beneath it.
As the work evolved, landscape became less a depiction of place and more a space for inquiry. Horizons, celestial forms, organic structures, and shifting fields of color emerged as a way of exploring the fluid relationship between interior and exterior experience. Rather than describing a specific environment, these paintings investigate landscape as a living and dynamic terrain shaped by movement, perception, and change.
This series marked an important expansion in my practice, introducing color and spatial depth while extending questions first explored through drawing into a more immersive and atmospheric visual language.
