Striking Steel
Acrylic, 36 x 48
Artist Statement
Striking Steel is a presentation of the raw elegance and power of weathered metal. Inspired by the interplay of oxidation, time, and the elements, this piece captures the unexpected beauty found in corrosion. Iridescent tones and textured imperfections invite you to see strength not just in structure but in age, and resilience. Striking Steel is one of many paintings in a series of industrial surfaces transformed by nature into something deeply expressive and uniquely alive.
