"Progress."

"Progress" is an emotionally charged work in which the artist expresses humanity's desire for development and the internal struggle between growth and destruction. At the center of the composition is an organic form resembling simultaneously a flower, a flame and a nervous system bursting through dynamic strokes. The rough texture of the strokes, the saturated colors and the dominant red lines create tension and a visual rhythm that symbolizes forward movement. At the center is the outline of an hourglass, a symbol of time, pressure and responsibility that accompanies any technological or personal progress. The painting is in the spirit of modern expressionism and can be interpreted as an image of the pain of growth, the arduous path of evolution or the energetic surge of new consciousness.
