Fly Away, 48" x 60"

See more paintings from the Flowing Color Collection Through its interplay of bold color fields, diagonal motion, and spatial tension, the work dramatizes the act of leaving — not as a fixed event, but as an ongoing, dynamic state. The composition is grounded in opposition: a central mass of dark teal and black stands vertical and grounded, while two diagonal bands — one yellow, one blue — cut across it in opposite directions. This creates a visual tension between gravity and flight. The vertical is stability, weight, perhaps even confinement; the diagonals are release, motion, and possibility. The red background expands across the canvas like a stage or atmosphere, simultaneously enclosing the figures and amplifying their energy. The color fields are flat, yet their interaction creates depth through contrast. Color is not decorative here; it is the very subject of the work. Red operates as a field of vitality, charged with urgency. It recalls heat, emotion, or even a burning horizon
