Autumn Leaf 2024#1

This colourful painting juxtaposes natural and abstract elements to create a dynamic, textured composition. At the centre is a bold red leaf, rendered with intricate, linear patterns that evoke the organic structure of foliage. Surrounding the leaf are multicoloured circles—yellow, blue, and green—layered atop a textured, dark background filled with a complex web of shapes and patterns. The interplay of the natural form of the leaf with the geometric precision of the circles creates a striking contrast.

The bright, saturated colours contribute to a sense of energy and rhythm, while the use of repetitive patterns throughout the composition enhances visual unity. The circular forms seem to float, creating depth and motion, drawing the eye both inward and outward. This painting reflects a fusion of nature and abstraction, emphasizing the tension between organic growth and human-imposed order. It invites contemplation of the interplay between natural beauty and the structured patterns we impose upon it.
