Acrylic on canvas, 28" x 40"
Core recalls Earth’s buried fire, asking not what we show the world, but what simmers unseen beneath. With molten crimsons, radiant golds, and bruised violets clashing and coalescing, the painting invites viewers to consider what lies beyond the surface of intensity: not chaos, but pressure, memory, and formation. The richly textured layers evoke the heat and fracture of geological transformation, as well as the moments before, or perhaps just after, eruption.
