This painting unfolds like a visual journey from left to right, beginning with a striking stack of angled slabs in shades of turquoise, blue, purple, and black. These geometric forms resemble books or architectural blocks, arranged with precision and depth. Radiating outward from the center of this stack is a web of fine lines in a rainbow of colors, forming a tunnel-like structure that evokes a sense of sound vibration, motion, energy, or a portal through time and space. Just beneath this architectural form, a line of red and purple squares stretches horizontally across the canvas, suggesting a coded rhythm, sequence, or perhaps a digital heartbeat running through the piece.

One single black line scribbles across the center, resembling stylized glyphs or a deconstructed language this line twists through the painting, and flows like a soundwave or neural activity.

Beneath the line, thin vertical lines descend like rain or information falling downward, perhaps symbolizing sound vibration.
On the right side, a female figure with Ghostly white eyes emerges from a stormy, monochrome background. She seems ethereal and emotional, her hair swirling wildly as if blown by inner turmoil or cosmic winds.

Her presence feels spiritual or even mythological — a guardian, a muse, or a being caught in the tides of unseen forces.

Statement From Michael

This piece is rooted in a line I used to draw absentmindedly during class—first in grade school, then again years later in investment school. It was an energetic scribble, a bolt of movement looping in and out of itself, flowing freely whenever my mind would drift. I’d highlight it with markers, add details, and build around it until it became its own little world. Over time, it turned into a kind of visual mantra for me—raw, expressive, and alive. I always told myself I’d turn it into a painting one day, and here is the first attempt.
The geometric forms on the left echo the shapes I used to sketch as a kid, stacking and shifting them like futuristic blocks or architectural puzzles. Together, these elements reflect the way my imagination has always been both spontaneous and structured—part daydream, part design.
The ghostly woman takes the piece to a deeper level. She shows that my creativity comes from a natural, inner place that’s been with me since childhood. She hints that I move between order and chaos—between careful design and wild imagination. She tells the viewer that behind the clean shapes and lines, there’s an untamed energy that drives me. She’s here to remind people that my art isn’t just about what I see, but what I feel and sense.
