Anna Majkutewicz - Awakening

size 70x100
This is an abstract painting with a very rich, multi-layered structure and a distinctly "material" character.

Cool grays and whites dominate, broken up by irregular accents of red, rusty brown, turquoise, and muted blue. The paint is applied densely, even roughly in places – visible are spackle marks, scratches, abrasions, and layers, creating an effect of erosion, a wall of memory, or an old, repeatedly repainted surface.

The composition lacks a single focal point – the eye wanders across the entire surface, discovering small details and micro-stories recorded in the texture. The painting appears dynamic yet muted; as if capturing a trace of movement, time, and emotion. There is something raw, urban, yet also organic about it – a cross between a landscape and a record of natural processes.
