ARTIST'S NOTE: Cold Reflections depicts a hauntingly still winter landscape reflected on a glassy surface. The skeletal trees and evergreens form a jagged, textured silhouette, their dark forms mirrored in the water below. The artist’s use of smudging, rough charcoal strokes, and negative space enhances the ethereal, almost ghostly quality of the composition. The reflection, slightly distorted, blurs the boundary between land and water, evoking a sense of quiet isolation and timelessness. This piece blends abstract expressionism with minimalist landscape painting, incorporating elements of tonalism in its moody, atmospheric depth. The rough, gestural charcoal marks give it a raw, almost primal energy, while the high-contrast monochrome palette recalls traditional ink wash painting and contemporary textural abstraction.
