焔 (Homura) - Japenese for flame - is a large-scale abstract painting that explores the quiet moment where light seems to smoulder inside darkness. Warm raw sienna and yellow ochre pigments bloom upward from a dense charcoal base, creating a rising, smoky gradient that suggests embers, clouds or distant horizons without ever fixing into a concrete image.

The surface is built through diluted pigment washes and charcoal dust worked directly into the weave of the canvas. Soft blooms, tide lines, faint drips and irregular edges remain visible, revealing the path of water and gravity in the painting process. These traces of chance, along with subtle scratches and tonal variations, embody a wabi-sabi sensibility: beauty found in imperfection, transience and the patina of time.

Seen from a distance, the work reads as a deep, almost nocturnal landscape; up close, it dissolves into veils of colour and fine textural detail. The composition remains open and meditative, inviting the viewer to project their own associations into the shifting field of light and shadow.
