Fortissimo
Fortissimo belongs to the Musical Abstraction series. Fortissimo translates musical volume into gesture. Layers of red, orange, purple, black and white collide across the canvas in a dense field of movement, where repeated drips and sweeping lines build rhythm through accumulation. There is no quiet center. Color, motion and instinct compete for space, pushing the composition toward excess without completely surrendering control. Like its musical marking, Fortissimo is meant to be experienced at full volume.
