The painting conveys a symbolic and enigmatic mood, merging layers of abstraction with subtle figurative suggestions.
Rich earth tones—browns, golds, ochres—dominate the palette, with glowing white and soft blue highlights that suggest a fading sunset or ancient mural worn by time.
The canvas is horizontally banded, each layer offering distinct visual elements. Stylized, abstracted figures emerge from the textured layers—some resembling humanoid forms, animals, or mythic symbols. A spiral-topped figure in the top left evokes ancient petroglyphs or totems.
In the upper right, a ghostly tree or horse-like shape seems to emerge mid-motion, while below it, a small golden figure moves forward, quiet but purposeful. These elements hint at narrative and ritual.
The lower half dissolves into blurred, energetic brushwork, suggesting motion, memory, or erosion. Fossil-like golden textures appear embedded in the lower left, adding archaeological weight.
A dark triangular form grounds the bottom right, providing balance. This work merges abstraction with storytelling, bringing a spiritual, meditative close—or deepening—to the thematic arc of the series.
