Burning Truth | Water soluble wax crayon on canvas board 127x179mm

"Burning Truth" ignites the canvas with an explosive palette of reds, yellows, and blues—like a forest fire consuming clarity itself. At first glance, it may resemble an autumnal reflection on water, but the fury in the brushwork suggests something deeper: a world overwhelmed by distortion. Truth burns here—not as a beacon, but as a casualty. 

Amid the chaos, flecks of dark pigment punctuate the scene like lies dressed in authority. The once-clear waters below have turned murky, reflecting a sky ablaze with half-truths and viral fiction. In this abstract expressionist vision, the boundaries between reality and illusion melt away.

As part of a series exploring the unique character of water-soluble wax crayon, it carries both experimentation and artistic curiosity.
