About the Artwork

'Strange Fire (2025)' is a small-scale work on maple-veneered MDF, combining oil pastel, pen and pencil to build a layered, hand-worked image where grain, pressure and revision remain visible. The piece is professionally presented in a stained wooden box frame and is intended for close viewing.

At 15 x 20cm (unframed) it asks for slow, close looking, where nuance lives in smudges and erasures. In that gap, the digital promise of precision feels fragile, and ambiguity becomes a generative space.
