This paperwork features a compelling composition of deep blacks, fiery oranges, and soft whites, embodying the dramatic tension implied by its title meaning Dark Flames in Latin. The contrast between light and shadow echoes the intensity of Baroque art, while the three-dimensional cast paper creates a bas-relief effect that is as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as profound as ancient drapery folds. This dynamic interplay of color and form connects contemporary gestural abstractions with the timeless drama of classical art, evoking a powerful visual experience.
