The painting "Trace of Fire" is an abstract composition in which color and form create an atmosphere of tension, internal conflict, and anxiety. The dominant black tones engage in a dialogue with the intense orange—as if a trace of embers still smoldering beneath the surface. The white accents do not provide relief, but rather heighten the contrast, becoming an echo of a past explosion or a light too harsh to bring comfort. Acrylic on paper 42x30cm
