Mark Rothko once said, “A painting is not about an experience. It is an experience.”

Untitled 09 invites the viewer into a space of stillness and subtle complexity. A soft grid, formed through layered oil and cold wax, holds delicate shifts in color.

The painting doesn’t demand attention; it waits for it. From a distance, it feels serene and minimal. Up close, it reveals quiet depth, texture, and emotion—rewarding those willing to linger.
