Description:

"Some impulses don't ask permission — they tear through the surface to become visible."

Impulse captures the precise moment when emotion breaks free — unannounced, unfiltered, unrestrained.

With visceral presence, this work strikes the eye with burning reds, molten gold, and organic blacks that slash across the canvas as if rising from the body’s deepest core. The gesture is fierce, yet precise. There is structure within the chaos — as if the unconscious had learned to paint with instinct and memory.

Along the edges, an almost architectural mesh emerges — like a grid attempting to contain what has already broken loose. At the center, a core pulses in eruption — is it flesh, blood, fire, or essence? Each viewer will answer differently, because Impulse doesn’t describe — it provokes.

A piece of commanding presence, ideal for spaces where art does not blend into the background — but becomes the force that shapes it.
