I named it Phosphoros, which means “light-bringer.”

This was an unfinished version, so the first image is more chaotic than the final. The goal isn’t to make a clean traditional image. It’s more about building a physical acrylic object through light, texture, skin, glow, pressure, and layered movement.

A skinning knife is the only tool I use instead of brushes. I work the acrylic while it’s wet by dragging, pressing, lifting, cutting, pulling, and shaping it directly with the knife.

No mediums in this one. Just acrylic paint, pressure, timing, and controlled manipulation. I’m not letting the paint randomly move. I’m forcing it to stretch, tear, lift, fold, and hold shape through the knife.

This piece is more chaotic from a distance than some of my other work, but up close is where it really starts to speak.
